By Kayla Haskins. A recent Gallup survey found that less than 1/3 of US workers are engaged with their work. This dire situation may be more costly than you think; a Gallup study from this summer estimates disengaged employees are costing the world $7.8 trillion in lost productivity (yes, that’s “trillion” with a “T”).

By Steve Knutson ChatGPT is a great tool for improving the productivity of content creators. Content creation is one of the most labour-intensive activities for Intranets.
