2026’s Benchmark Analysis of Employee Experience

Employee engagement is stabilizing, but the experience behind it is more complex than ever.

Work is evolving at a rapid pace, and Nordic organizations are being tested on how well they support their people, enable growth, and sustain meaningful connections. Join Richard Widdowson (Principal Workforce Transformation Consultant) and Sarah Pittman (Senior Workforce Transformation Consultant), as they unpack findings from our latest Scandinavia Employee Experience Benchmark Analysis — revealing what's driving engagement today, where critical gaps are emerging, and what leaders need to pay attention to next.

Drawing on signals across millions of survey responses from Nordic employees, this session goes beyond the headline numbers to examine the forces driving how employees think, feel, and perform at work. We will go beyond the headline numbers to explore the forces quietly shaping how employees feel, perform, and decide whether to stay.

You'll walk away with insight into:

• Why engagement is holding steady, and what that stability is (and isn't) telling you
• How change, leadership, and growth are reshaping the employee experience right now
• The growing disconnect between leadership confidence and how employees actually feel about the future
• Why employees see AI as an opportunity, but don't yet feel equipped to act on it
• Where organizations are building strong momentum early, and where they're losing it
