10 Best HR Practices for an Engaged Workplace Culture in 2025
Harness technology, attract top talent, and align volunteering with DEI & company goals for unmatched employee engagement
Only 23% of your workforce is engaged at work
When only a fraction of employees are engaged at work, the knock-on effect on other areas of your business is huge. Disengagement leads to lower productivity, company loyalty, and ill mental health.
It’s crucial for HR teams to address the employee disengagement trend in 2025, and this paper examines the ways that you can leverage technology, align with values, personalise experiences, integrate with sustainability, utilise social impact schemes (and more) to maximise employee engagement in 2025.
The importance of employee engagement
Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace 2023 reported that 77% of employees aren’t engaged at work, with 59% of employees “quiet quitting” (disengaged) and 18% “loud quitting” (actively disengaged). Just 23% were engaged, meaning that they found their work meaningful and felt connected to their teams and organisations.
Employee engagement directly impacts your bottom line. Gallup estimates that low engagement costs the global economy $8.8 trillion (US) and accounts for 9% of global GDP.
Engaged employees are also happier, and low engagement is related to higher stress. Staff engagement has 3.8 times as much influence on employee stress as work location, and we all know that happy employees means higher retention.
