Question

C)When employees feel that they have no reasonable opportunity except to stay in their present jobs, the danger of disengagement can quickly arise. So Choice C is correct, as it suggests that Crescendo's workers might be staying on out of necessity rather than loyalty to the company. Choice A shows that disengagement is more common than one might expect, but doesn't require that the statistics hold for Crescendo's workforce. Choice B, on the other hand, is a stated goal that, if actually embraced by management and workers, would tend to encourage an atmosphere of engagement. Choices D and E are practices that probably should be revised to deal more proactively with the issue, but they do not in themselves indicate that a problem exists.
