The State of the Global Workplace

A Glimpse Into The State of the Global Workplace in 2025

In 2024, global employee engagement fell sharply to 21%, a level not seen since the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This decline mirrored similar drops in overall life satisfaction and wellbeing among workers.

The most pronounced decline occurred among managers—a concerning trend, as their engagement and wellbeing play a critical role in shaping team morale and workplace climate.

The report explores the underlying factors behind these declines, such as shifting workplace expectations, burnout, evolving leadership challenges, and the lingering effects of hybrid work models.

It also highlights key trends shaping the future of work and offers recommendations for organizations looking to rebuild engagement and foster a healthier, more resilient workforce in 2025 and beyond.

The best communicators are storytellers.

Learn how to move from being a story “reporter” to an engaging storyteller.

In Story-Based Selling: Create, Connect, and Close, you’ll learn that it’s really no mystery why some people are better at sales than others. People buy from people they trust. They trust people they like, and they like people they connect with. Storytelling is the best way for salespeople-and all of us-to immediately connect to a customer’s feelings of trust and the desire to change.  By telling a story, we can immediately connect to a customer’s less skeptical emotional brain and drive away their fear of being sold. In this book, Jeff tells his own engaging stories while teaching step-by-step techniques of intentional storytelling-to create a fast connection with the listener, no matter who is buying or what a person wants to sell.
