Employee Engagement Remains Flat as AI Adoption Accelerates
Beneath it, the workplace continues to change rapidly as AI becomes a more common part of employees' daily work.

Employees are substantially more likely to be engaged when leaders introduce AI with clear expectations, a thoughtful implementation plan and active manager support.
