What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

KPMG and Gallup released reports detailing concerns about employee disengagement. A survey conducted in 2025 found that 89% of respondents in the U.S. and Canada felt that strong human connection at work directly impacts their productivity. Simultaneously, KPMG found that 45% of employees now report feeling lonely at work, which is nearly double the rate reported the previous year.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The findings suggest a disconnect between the heavy investment organizations have made in digital tools and the actual need for human connection. These trends signal a fundamental breakdown in workplace culture, with reports noting that technology alone cannot create connection and that 'quiet quitting is real.'
