There is a reality that affects the majority of companies around the globe: only 30% of their collaborators are truly engaged in their work.
In its latest annual survey, conducted in 2013, Gallup reported that 50% of workers in the U.S. merely put their time in and 20% act out their disengagement in counter-productive ways, with a negative impact on their co-workers. Gallup estimates that this group costs the U.S. economy $500 billion a year.
The enigma to resolve is this: Why is there such a high level of disengagement?

Since the end of last year, material facts have been produced in Spain that have resulted in tangible advancements in this field. This is just the start and the model must continue to mature progressively.
The first key milestone to take place after November was the publication, in mid December, of the National Cybersecurity Strategy (ECSN) in which various actions are proposed to ensure the Protection of Technological Equity in Spain, and which explicitly mentions the importance of protecting Vital Infrastructures among its objectives.

It's more than five years since the U.S. authorities declared the end of the recession triggered by the financial crisis of 2008, yet the country's GDP growth rates are still meager.
