In a world where technology and work models are evolving at breakneck speed, employee motivation in 2025 faces significant challenges.
The current state is alarming: In the U.S., only 31% of employees are actively engaged at work, and globally, that number drops to a mere 21%. In Germany, less than half of employees (48%) say they give their best at work—well below the international average of 54%.
This lack of motivation doesn’t just cost companies talent and innovation; it threatens their survival in an increasingly competitive market.
