2026 – The year of employee engagement
Employee engagement has plummeted to its lowest level in over ten years.
Why, you ask? Well, research shows that employees who have a clear understanding of their roles and expectations tend to be more engaged, whereas teams facing ambiguous priorities and frequent changes in direction, experience diminished engagement.
When employees grasp the significance of their tasks, they are more likely to remain focused and committed. Establishing clear priorities, maintaining consistent expectations, and demonstrating visible progress are essential for fostering this engagement.
With more traditional work practices now becoming outdated and performance management evolves, activities such as annual reviews are becoming less relevant due to the fast-paced nature of work and shifting priorities,
The rapid emergence of new tools and technologies is outpacing the capabilities of current change management systems. With this, 2026 is poised to be the year of the unified operating system as organisations increasingly focus on the link between clear and structured tasks and employee engagement.
With a a heightened demand for solutions that facilitate communication, learning, and adaptability during times of change, HR leaders will be crucial in ensuring that these transitions remain manageable and aligned with actual work practices.
