NEW REPORT
SHIFTING EXPECTATIONS 2026
The systems governing how we work and live are outdated and the strain is showing.
This year’s Shifting Expectations report, produced in partnership with Opinium, examines where they’re failing, and what the human cost of that looks like across 2,000 employees.
From a talent pipeline being hollowed out by AI to the weight of constant change, the data tells a story that goes beyond trends.
We’ve paired it with practical recommendations for the leaders responsible for doing something about it.
