Layoffs and high levels of executive turnover continue to disrupt multiple industries. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are unlocking new opportunities as well as stoking fears around job security. And almost five years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, employees are still navigating new norms around remote and hybrid work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As employers chart their course through these dynamic trends, understanding employees\u2019 perspectives becomes crucial. In our inaugural DHR Workforce Trends Report, we surveyed 1,500 white-collar, desk-based knowledge workers across North America, Asia, and Europe about how these shifts affect their engagement and productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"is-style-underlined\">Employee Engagement: Mixed Motivations, Clear Opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-3 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-container-1 wp-block-column\">\n<p>Today\u2019s desk-based employees appear to be highly enthusiastic and invested in their jobs, with 88% of respondents feeling very or extremely engaged. However, a closer look at the data reveals a more complicated picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our survey defined \u201cbeing engaged\u201d as \u201cfeeling enthusiastic about your work and\/or emotionally invested in achieving the goals of your team or overall organization.\u201d However, when asked what drives their engagement, many employees cited factors that had more to do with external economic conditions than emotional investment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, over two-thirds of respondents (67%) say the tighter job market increases their engagement and 61% cite job insecurity as a motivator to stay engaged at work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-2 wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"860\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-1-1024x860.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-1-1024x860.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-1-300x252.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-1-768x645.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-1-320x269.png 320w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-1.png 1508w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-off-white-background-color has-background\">One way to shift employees from fear-based engagement to emotional investment in their work might be to offer more relevant professional development opportunities. More than 3 in 4 respondents (80%) said professional development opportunities increase their engagement.

However, 9 in 10 hybrid respondents also cite remote and hybrid work as a key driver of engagement, showing the importance of continuing to offer work flexibility.

Some employees may feel compelled to stay engaged not out of enthusiasm or commitment, but because they are wary of the potential risks of leaving their jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bolstering professional development offerings can help boost engagement in a deeper way, building employees\u2019 emotional investment in their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"is-style-underlined\">The Burnout Epidemic: Uneven Impacts Across Demographics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-6 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-container-4 wp-block-column\">\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite high rates of engagement, employees also reported high rates of burnout. Defined as feeling mentally, physically, and\/or emotionally exhausted and stressed at work, burnout remains a pervasive workplace issue. One in three employees (34%) say burnout reduces their engagement, and over 8 in 10 employees (82%) say they feel burnt out to some degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Younger generations are more likely to say they feel burnt out. Baby boomers on the verge of retirement might not feel as much pressure at work as Gen Zers new to the workforce who are still proving<br>themselves, or millennials who may be stepping into management or leadership roles for the first time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-5 wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"821\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-3-1024x821.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-3-1024x821.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-3-300x241.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-3-768x616.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-3-1536x1231.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-3-320x257.png 320w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-3.png 1558w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-off-white-background-color has-background\">The drivers of burnout are similar across the board. Top contributors include working too many hours (58%), overwhelming workloads (35%), and difficulty balancing work obligations with personal\/family life (34%). External factors can also exacerbate burnout. Sixty-one percent of employees agree that changes in their country\u2019s political environment make them less engaged and more distracted at work. This could put employees at more risk for burnout in times of political turmoil or in important election years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-9 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-container-7 wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"839\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-4-1024x839.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-4-1024x839.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-4-300x246.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-4-768x629.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-4-1536x1258.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-4-320x262.png 320w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-4.png 1708w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-8 wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-5-1024x950.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29691\" width=\"512\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-5-1024x950.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-5-300x278.png 300w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-5-768x712.png 768w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-5-320x297.png 320w, https:\/\/www.dhrglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DHR-Global_Report-Charts_DHR-Global-Report_Chart-5.png 1508w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-testimonial has-off-white-background-color alignfull alignfull\">\n\t<div class=\"maybe-wrapper\">\n        \n\n<h2 class=\"has-green-color has-text-color\">Global View<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>Burnout hits APAC harder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>22% of APAC respondents feel extremely burnt out, compared to 13% of European respondents and 10% of North American respondents. 69% of APAC respondents say politics distracts them at work, compared to only 59% of European and 54% of North American respondents.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-callout has-dark-blue-background-color alignfull alignfull\">\n\t<div class=\"maybe-wrapper\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"has-text-align-right\">Key Takeaway<\/h2>\t\t<div class=\"right\">\n            \n\n<p>The top drivers of burnout \u2014 long hours, overwhelming workloads, and difficulty balancing work and personal life \u2014 reveal systemic issues within organizations.
