with Dr. Roger Gerard

Did you know that nearly 60% of employees in the U.S. are disengaged, with 18% being actively disengaged? If you’re a leader or business operator, this isn’t just a statistic—it’s a major, expensive business problem.

🛎 In this episode of Marc Haine Live, we sit down with Dr. Roger A. Gerard, an executive consultant, author, and leadership expert with over 50 years of experience, to dive into:
✅ Why disengagement is not an employee issue—it’s a leadership issue.
✅ The 3 biggest threats to workplace culture: cynics, apathetics, and naysayers.
✅ How disengaged employees erode productivity, quality, and morale.
✅ Actionable strategies leaders can use to turn the tide on disengagement.
