A look into our 2026 Global Culture Report

Inclusion

When cultures increase inclusive employee experiences and decrease exclusionary experiences, quantifiable outcomes like engagement and wellbeing soar.

One Last Word

Cultures where all employees thrive don’t create themselves. It’s a never-ending journey. Fortunately, we know four important steps to keep in mind.

Leadership

Organizations that treat every employee as a leader develop the best leaders (at least 81% of them). They also build the best cultures.

Generations

We’re starting to see how Gen-Z employees compare to their predecessors. And organizations with healthy cultures are 16x more likely to retain them.

Crisis

Unprecedented times conceal unprecedented opportunities to strengthen culture though transparency, connection, recognition, and inclusion.

Introduction

The average engagement score fell 2% and incidences of burnout rose 3% from the previous year—for reasons other than the pandemic.

Recognition

Over the next decade, recognition will become more technical, personal, natural, and critical. Nearly half of employees feel there’s room to improve.

Technology

Only 32% of organizations are culturally ready to adopt new technology. But it can have a powerful impact on the employee experience.
