Engaged, But Not Convinced: What's Eroding Beneath Your Strongest Engagement Numbers
Perceptyx's EX Benchmark '26 reveals surprising truths about leadership trust, change confidence and the conviction gap at large enterprises.
Employee engagement is stabilizing. What's happening beneath those numbers is a different story.
HR leaders are being tested on something specific right now: how well they handle change, enable real growth and sustain the kind of trust that keeps people committed rather than just present.
On June 17, Bradley Wilson, Ph.D. and Zachary Warman, M.S. draw from 23 million survey responses to discuss findings from the 2026 Employee Experience Benchmark: what's driving engagement today, where critical gaps are emerging and what leaders need to pay attention to next.
You’ll walk away with insight into:
- Why engagement is holding steady and what that stability is (and isn't) telling you
- How change, leadership and growth are reshaping the employee experience right now
- The growing disconnect between leadership confidence and how employees actually feel about the future
- Why employees see AI as an opportunity but don't yet feel equipped to act on it
- Where organizations are building strong momentum early and where they're losing it
Whether you're an HR leader, people manager or organizational strategist, this session will give you a sharper lens on the employee experience and a clearer path forward.
