Deloitte and Gallup released reports detailing current worker trends, noting that one-third of workers surveyed worldwide experienced 15 major changes in the past year alone. According to Gallup, U.S. employee engagement fell to 29% in the third quarter of 2026, its lowest level since 2011. Joseph Drasin, who is affiliated with the University of Maryland, described this upheaval as 'change fatigue,' a state felt at the organizational level.
