Employee Engagement Trends 2024

We want to give a shout out to our clients who were open to experimenting with their employee engagement programs. They were open to incorporating newer ideas in organizational behavior with insights and feedback their employees shared. Bottom line, we helped our HR clients engage thousands of employees around the world. And the results were positive.

Incomplete engagement

This concept touches on the idea that even when 2 employees say they are engaged, they likely are engaged to different degrees. Thus, HR leaders are starting to personalize engagement programs to each person’s preferences. This also means going beyond saying they have a program and freshening them up.

• Freshen up programs

• Educate managers to communicate impact

• Personalize awards

• Add programs to support life events

Quitting Bar

Everyone is on a quitting scale. One employee with a new offer in hand may be more likely to quit than the employee frustrated about their manager’s recent actions. On the opposite side, the employee who earned a new certification that the company paid for is likely to be engaged for a while.

• Measure engagement

• Identify drivers of disengagement

• Understand where employees fall

Leading with Empathy

With all due respect, most senior leaders can interact with employees in more productive ways. The 3rd trend is prioritizing leaders to practice empathy.
