This report by the O.C. Tanner Institute examines the main stressors fuelling workplace disengagement and combines employee sentiment with actionable insights to arm organisations with strategies to reconnect employees and build high-performance teams. Based on data gathered from more than 38,000 employees, leaders, HR practitioners and executives across 23 countries, the report highlights several key trends: employees are lacking inspiration, they demand transparency at all levels, and high-performing cultures can only exist sustainably with equally high support. It breaks down how organisations can spark inspiration among teams, harness hope to empower employees, and foster inclusivity and transparency to build high-performing cultures where employees thrive.
