Employees’ satisfaction with their personal lives fell 8% this year, yet 87% say they love or like the organization they work for.

That attachment has limits, with unconditional loyalty dropping 5 points as more employees plan to stay only as long as their work stays interesting.

This report draws on a survey of 11,000 employees across 14 countries to reveal what keeps today’s workforce committed and how AI fits into the picture.

With this report:

• Understand why work has become a refuge from inflation and global uncertainty, and what could change that
• Recognize the rise of Measured Engagement and why employees setting limits isn’t the same as disengagement
• Identify what employees want most from HR, from well-being and working conditions to recognition and growth
• Discover why 65% of employees welcome AI and how to turn that enthusiasm into a retention advantage
• Close the AI knowledge gap before your least engaged employees fall behind

Employees still see work as a safe harbor, but their loyalty now has to be earned. Build the workplace they choose to stay in.
