a new mission for employers.

Our Workmonitor 2025 report shows that a new workplace baseline is emerging - where success is defined not just by what we do, but by why we do it, how we do it and who we do it with. This delivers a clear new mission for employers.

A few key findings from our latest report:

  • Values alignment - 1 in 3 quit a job because they didn't agree with the viewpoints or stances of the leadership at their organisation.
  • Talent progression - 31% have quit a job because of a lack of career opportunities.
  • Community - 85% perform better at work when there is a sense of community.
  • Future-proof careers - 2 in 5 trust their employer to invest and provide opportunities for continuous learning, particularly in AI and technology.

"Many expected the challenging economic conditions of 2024 to temper talent expectations, but the Workmonitor shows the opposite has occurred. We have seen a new baseline established with talent continuing to hold multifaceted expectations.

For today’s talent, the significance of work is complex and needs to be personalised. They are setting the terms on what truly matters to them as individuals and within their communities. Successful businesses are those that will adapt and adjust to this new talent baseline. The solution lies in empowering our key resource: people"
