Only 32.5% of employees are currently engaged and close to 2 out of 10 are actively disengaged according to 2016 Gallup research. Since our 2014 YouTube video, “Who’s Sinking Your Boat?” went viral, we simply haven’t seen much improvement in employee engagement in the workplace – in spite of billions of dollars being spent on employee engagement in the workplace, and a vastly improved economy. Why you might ask? Watch our latest video “Why is Your Boat Still Sinking?” and you might just find the secrets to engagement. Based on Bob Kelleher’s latest book, I-Engage, Your Personal Engagement Roadmap, and the latest employee engagement research from The Employee Engagement Group, Gallup, and many others (see sources below), we believe our latest video provides valuable insights for you personally, as well as for your organization.
Produced and written by Bob Kelleher and the team from The Employee Engagement Group™, including Liz Batchelder, Allan Benowitz, Laura Porter, and Andy Jacques. Animation by Liz Batchelder.

Great stuff @BobKelleher watched both videos and they make lots of sense.
Hi Bob. Great follow-up video. You gave me permission to use your previous video, "Who's Sinking Your Boat?" for a presentation I did last year. I am doing a follow-up presentation this year and I was wondering if I could use this video, "Why Is Your Boat Still Sinking," in that presentation. Your videos are a great way to get participants thinking and engaged at the beginning of a discussion.
Hello Bob! Great video! Can I use your video for a presentation if I give you credit?
Well done…again! 🙂
I wanted to share this video for a class paper i want to get permission to use it… of course i will cite you in the paper. thank you in advance for your time.
I was engaged. Now i'm married. I like being married better….wait…that's what we're talking about right?
BOB …thanks for such a great video which was wisely presented to deliver best conclusion on ENGAGEMENT
Really engaging .. Need your permission to present it in my next meeting.
Hi Bob I love both videos. Thank you for sharing. As I did the math on the updated 2016 video I came up with 101% instead of 100% (32.5% actively engaged) (51% Disengaged) (17.5% Actively Disengaged). I wanted to give you a heads-up plus hopefully find out what numbers need adjusting. Thank you!
Love the video Bob. Employee Engagement is first on our priority in EVERY way!
Love the update to Who's Sinking Your Boat and will share it on my LinkedIn network. Thanks Bob
Great videos. Can I use them on our Intranet, with credits?
Hi Bob! im officially become a fan of yours!! such an in depth view on staff engagement & how it can affect overall business performance.
Hi Bob! Thank you for sharing these great videos! Do you by chance have them in Spanish, or at least subtitled? I would like to share them with my team and most of them don't speak English.
Hi Bob
I came across this last year and i tried to put some of you ideas into operation as an engagement champion.
Would it be possible to use this as part of an information video?
great video for both employee's and managers!
Hi Bob. Could I use this video in a Advisory Group Meeting?
Typical management: blame the employee for his disengagement
Any updates now that it's 2 years later? Very interesting videos!
Excellent video, such an important message! Take a gold star. 🙂 http://www.possibility.ca
