Your Employees Are Holding On. The Question Is Whether Your Organization Gives Them a Reason To.

A global survey of more than 11,000 workers across 14 countries found that 76% describe themselves as “happy,” “enthusiastic,” or “confident” at work, even as personal life satisfaction continues to slip. That’s not a coincidence. As traditional sources of community and stability erode, employees are turning to their employers to fill the gap. Work has become the anchor.

But anchors only hold if they’re built right. Research shows that employee loyalty is becoming increasingly conditional.

This webinar breaks down what a global study of 11,000 workers reveals about the new dynamics of employee loyalty, and what HR leaders can do right now to strengthen the connection employees are already counting on.

What You Will Learn

• Why 87% of employees say they “love” or “like” their organization even as personal life satisfaction drops, and what that gap signals about where retention risk lives
• How unconditional loyalty is giving way to conditional loyalty, and which factors pull employees toward one side or the other
• What employees say they need most from their employers right now: well-being, recognition, and compensation that keeps pace with real-world financial pressure
• Why AI is making human connection at work more valuable, not less, and what that means for how you engage your workforce
• How compensation and benefits strategy determines whether employees see their company as a source of stability or a source of additional stress
• Concrete actions HR teams can take to become the anchor their employees are already looking for

Why This Matters Now

Engagement strategies have traditionally focused on culture, communication, and manager relationships. Those still matter. What’s changed is the stakes. With 70% of workers citing inflation and purchasing power as their top concern, compensation is no longer just an HR line item. It’s a signal. It tells employees whether their organization sees them, values them, and intends to keep them.

At the same time, AI is reshaping what employees expect from work itself. The research shows that employees aren’t afraid of AI. They welcome it, as long as their organization helps them navigate it. That’s a significant opening for HR teams willing to lean in. The organizations that pair strong compensation and benefits with genuine investment in their people’s growth are the ones building loyalty that lasts, not loyalty that lingers until something better comes along.
