Dale Carnegie's inaugural State of Organizational Health Report putsnumbers behind that instinct, tracking how communication, empathy,psychological safety and other foundational workplace qualities are actuallylanding across a global workforce.
This free report traces how those foundations shape day-to-dayexperiences with leaders and flow through to the outcomes every organization ischasing: job satisfaction, retention and engagement. Alongside the globalresults, it breaks findings down by region and flags the strategic prioritiesmost likely to close the gaps it uncovers in 2026.
Key takeaways

- Five key tensions shaping the 2025 workplace, from the gap between leadership conviction and employee experience to why managers remain "stuck in the middle" without the authority or support to lead effectively.
- Six research-backed strategic priorities for 2026, including turning communication into a system rather than a skill, operationalizing empathy in everyday decisions, and reinvesting in the onsite experience.
