Workforce Listening Study
At AgileBrain, we’re not just observers of the workplace evolution; we’re catalysts for change. Our groundbreaking research in employee wellbeing and engagement is more than a collection of statistics. It’s the heartbeat of the workforce, captured, analyzed, and shared to revolutionize the way organizations support their people.
Unparalleled Insights with Workforce Listening Study 6
Our commitment is reflected in our rigorous approach to research. We dive deep into nationally representative samples, ensuring a statistical confidence level of 95 percent. It’s not about numbers—it’s about real stories, challenges, and aspirations of employees across sectors.
Facing the Tide: The Great Resignation 2023
History repeats, and challenges resurface. The workforce exodus that blindsided many in 2021 is back, and it’s urgent to understand why. Our research doesn’t just highlight problems; it illuminates the path forward.
- Mental Health Crisis: With rising depression levels and a staggering 80% not accessing mental health services, it’s a call to action.
- Engagement at Risk: The growing chasm of income inequality isn’t just a financial issue. It’s an emotional deficit, eroding the very foundations of engagement and loyalty

- Despite the dire news about mental health issues, only one in five currently works with a mental health professional and only three percent have a coach. (p. 42), although half of workers are open to starting to get help (p. 43)
- The nearly fourfold spike in feeling unsafe at home has not improved, with strong emotional consequences for those affected (pp. 39-40).
