Organisations continue to invest in employee engagement
In 2019 the percentage of EAs running employee engagement events increased by 10 % to 81 %. The 2026 findings show no increase, despite concerted and increased efforts by organisations to get people back to the office and rebuild their teams. It’ s possible that eight out of 10 companies represent a ceiling of the proportion of businesses prepared to invest in their employees. Alternatively, the remaining 20 % may have dedicated departments to handle this type of activity? Regardless, 80 % is a high proportion of businesses and one that has been maintained.
What are the purposes of the events you organise?( multiple choice)
