20% engaged globally, based on 2025 data, published in Gallup's State of the Global Workplace 2026 report (April 2026).
How often is engagement data on this page updated?
Gallup publishes annually. Culture Amp updates on its own vintage cadence — always check the vintage stamp shown on the page rather than assuming the two match.
Can I compare the Gallup and Culture Amp numbers directly?
No — treat them as separate systems, the same way this site treats US/UK/EU absenteeism data as non-comparable across systems.
