2026 Employee eXperience Trends
In today’s fast-paced workplace, employee eXperience (EX) has become the driving force behind organisational success. From building trust to embracing AI tools, understanding what drives employee engagement and satisfaction is more important than ever.
Our partner Qualtrics has released the 2026 Employee eXperience Trends Report, based on the insights of over 33,000 full-time and part-time employees from 24 countries, and 30 industries. The report uncovers the essential shifts required to attract, engage, and retain top talent in a fast and increasingly complex environment.
The 3 Trends identified by Qualtrics:
3 key trends have emerged that are reshaping expectations and behaviours in the Employee eXperience field:
- Disruptive tech excites employees. Disruptive org changes exhaust them.
- Employes are solving productivity pressure using AI – without you.
- The hidden costs to cutting costs: disengaged employees, unsatisfied customers
