As 2025 continues to unfold, HR leaders face the pressing challenge of influencing employee experience in an era of rapid technological change, evolving work dynamics and increasingly diverse workforce needs.

The stakes are high: Only 23% of employees globally and 33% in the U.S. are considered engaged at work, according to Gallup. Addressing this gap requires innovative strategies that blend technology, culture and personalization to foster trust and engagement, according to experts.

Josh Bersin describes today’s EX challenges as a “soup” of issues that fall squarely on HR’s plate. To meet these challenges, HR leaders must focus on simplifying work processes, enhancing flexibility and rebuilding trust, according to experts.

Reduce chaos

Insights from the 2025 Employee Experience Trends Report from Qualtrics, based on data from over 35,000 employees across 23 countries, reveal that employees in 2025 are seeking stability and less chaotic work environments. Over a third of employees globally told Qualtrics researchers they are feeling pressure from their employer to increase productivity, which they say is caused by the pace of change (38%), strategic efforts (36%) and economic conditions (34%).

Show younger workers support

While workers under the age of 25 remain notably optimistic about their careers and company success, according to Qualtrics, maintaining this outlook requires intentional and targeted support. The Qualtrics team advises HR leaders to seek input from younger employees, set realistic boundaries and foster innovation to maintain their energy and drive better decisions.
