People Element Releases Annual 2025 Employee Engagement Report
2025 Employee Engagement Trends: What Companies Need to Know
[Denver, Colorado] – People Element has released its highly anticipated 2025 Employee Engagement Report, providing critical insights into workforce engagement trends, key drivers of employee satisfaction, and the challenges organizations face in sustaining engagement levels. The report analyzes data from thousands of employees across industries, offering actionable recommendations to help companies foster a more engaged and resilient workforce.
Employee engagement peaked at 61% in 2020, largely due to increased organizational focus on well-being and communication during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, engagement levels steadily declined in subsequent years, reaching a low of 56% in 2023 before showing a modest recovery to 57% in 2024. This decline underscores the need for companies to adopt long-term engagement strategies rather than reactive measures during periods of crisis.
“The data highlights a critical reality—engagement strategies cannot be short-term solutions,” said Chris Coberly, CEO of People Element. “Organizations that prioritize continuous employee development, transparent communication, and a strong workplace culture will be better equipped to maintain high engagement levels.”
The 2025 report identifies several key factors influencing engagement, including leadership effectiveness, workplace flexibility, and opportunities for professional growth. Notably, employees who feel recognized for their contributions report significantly higher engagement scores, reinforcing the importance of meaningful recognition programs.
With remote and hybrid work environments becoming the norm, the report also sheds light on the evolving expectations of employees. Companies that successfully balance flexibility with strong leadership and clear communication are seeing higher retention and engagement rates.
