Title: Cross‑Industry Employee Engagement Report
Global employee engagement fell to 20% in 2025. That is its lowest level since 2020 and the second straight year of decline. This drop cost the global economy an estimated $10 trillion in lost productivity. Low engagement means more workers are doing just enough to get by. Some are even acting against their team’s goals. For HR leaders, this creates real problems with retention, turnover, and burnout.
The numbers look different depending on where you look. The United States and Canada have the highest engagement at 31%. Europe has the lowest at just 12%. South Asia saw the biggest drop in engagement of any region. It fell 5 points in one year. Only 16% of employees in South Asia are thriving in their daily lives. That is the lowest wellbeing rate in the world. Also, fully remote employees report the highest engagement at 30%. On‑site workers in non‑remote roles report only 17%.
In the United States, 32% of employees are engaged at work. That is slightly above the regional average of 31%.
Globally, 64% of employees are not engaged. Another 16% are actively disengaged.
Manager engagement has dropped 9 points since 2022. The steepest one‑year drop happened last year. Managers fell from 27% to 22%.
Employee wellbeing improved for the first time in three years. But it only rose to 34%. That means two out of three workers are still struggling or suffering.
Women are more engaged than men. Female employees report 21% engagement. Male employees report 19%.
