Nearly 83 percent of workers in Kenya are detached from their work and are only stuck with their employers because prospects of another job are thin, a new survey shows.

Gallup, an American analytics and advisory company based in Washington, says in the ‘State of the Global Workplace 2023’ report that engagement levels among workers in Kenya are at 17 percent, with 83 percent classified as either "quiet quitting” (not engaged) or “loud quitting” (actively disengaged).
