#GenAI is here, but its success hinges on who's trusting it, who's struggling with it, and why. Our data shows employees are optimistic, but major concerns are mounting around equity, ethics, and leadership preparedness. So, what's stopping confident, equitable adoption in your company? Perceptyx’s NEW RESEARCH reveals the 4 critical challenges leaders need to address now to successfully scale AI: 🔹 UNEVEN ADOPTION: Younger employees lead while individual contributors and later-career colleagues are lagging. 🔹 MANAGER STRAIN: Productivity is up, but managers face heavier workloads and new concerns about AI fairness and bias. 🔹 CONFIDENCE GAP: Gen Z is ready, but later-career staff express significantly lower confidence and need targeted support. 🔹 TRUST DEFICIT: Employees demand transparency, yet younger users show the least trust in organizational AI use. Simply providing tools isn't enough to align your workforce around GenAI. → The SOLUTION is ACTION. In the report, you’ll also gain access to our ✨ GenAI Adoption Roadmap✨outlining the practical framework and key steps leaders must take to: ➡️ Build Transparency and combat skepticism. ➡️ Support Managers as front-line change guides. ➡️ Close Gaps and protect equity in access and training. ➡️ Create feedback loops and measure impact.

🏥 In healthcare, your people are your strategy. Yet the 2025 state of healthcare EX is sounding a clear alarm. Perceptyx analysis shows that while overall engagement remains steady at 71.5%, employees express growing doubts about their organizations’ futures. Our latest #HealthcareEX research reveals where organizations are making progress, and where urgent attention is needed: 🔹 Trust in leadership is slipping — putting engagement and care quality at risk. 🔹 Psychological safety is fragile — when employees fear speaking up, patient outcomes suffer. 🔹 People investments move the financial needle. Across every CMS outcome measure examined, higher employee engagement related to stronger outcomes. 🔹 Leadership clarity is critical — the ability to lead through change will define tomorrow’s top-performing systems. For HR and People Leaders, the message is clear: Investing in employee experience isn’t just a culture initiative — it’s a performance imperative. ➡️ Get the full research and explore the path forward: go.perceptyx.com/research-the-s… #HealthcareLeadership #EX #PeopleStrategy #HealthcareHR

In today’s workplace, transformation and change isn’t episodic — it’s constant. 📉 Yet only 53% of employees say change is handled effectively at their organization. Whether it’s layoffs, return-to-office mandates, or AI integration, how organizations lead through transformation & change had a direct and lasting impact on engagement, trust, and performance. Employees don’t expect certainty. But they do expect communication, clarity, and support as they navigate change. Our new guidebook offers research-backed strategies to help organizations: 🔹 Turn disruption into growth, 🔹 Build trust and belonging through transparency, 🔹 Use employee feedback to guide and sustain transformation, and 🔹 Equip managers to lead change, not just survive it.

Perceptyx’s new research reveals that managers may have reached their breaking point. 58% told us they would abandon people leader roles altogether, and 64% are feeling pressure to take a harder performance stance, despite receiving little relief from the demands of the employees they manage. Managers are being squeezed from all sides — under pressure to deliver results, support their teams, and navigate shifting expectations — but with little of the personalized support or development they actually need. Our third annual report from the Center for Workforce Transformation explores what’s driving the #LeadershipCrisis across the US & Europe — and what your organization can do to reverse it. Explore the research to discover: 🔹 Why employees working under poorly-rated managers are 4x more likely to leave, costing businesses $323.5 billion in turnover costs alone, 🔹 The 5 behaviors that set exceptional managers apart, 🔹 How new pressure to adopt harsher management tactics is quietly damaging your culture, and 🔹 Why a more personalized approach to L&D, informed by EX data, is no longer optional — it’s essential. 🔗 Access the full report to learn how to ease the #ManagerSqueeze, and transform your managers from good to great: go.perceptyx.com/research-the-g… #ManagerEffectiveness #LeadershipDevelopment #EmployeeExperience
