👔 Gallup’s annual State of the Global Workplace report is one of my favorites. Here are some findings I will be pondering:
- Job market optimism increased for workers who worked on-site, without the option of remote. Job market optimism decreased among remote workers, hybrid workers, and even workers who worked on-site but have a remote option.
- Higher levels of leadership report higher levels of overall wellbeing. At the same time, they are substantially more likely to report much worse individual days.
- Large U.S. employers are more likely to reduce their workforce after implementing AI; smaller employers are more likely to expand their workforce.
- 18% of U.S. employees said it was “very” or “somewhat” likely their job would be eliminated in the next five years due to technological innovations. In organizations where AI has been implemented, that figure rises to 23%. In some industries, such as finance (32%), insurance (32%) and technology (31%), it is much higher.
