Engagement Research

Employee Engagement Benchmarks

Research, data, and industry comparisons from CultureMonkey’s global dataset of 10M+ anonymized survey responses.

How We Build These Reports

Real data from real companies running real surveys

Every benchmark report on this page comes from the same source: engagement data collected through CultureMonkey's platform, from companies that were actively running surveys with their employees. No panels, no commissioned responses, no synthetic data.

The data source

We pull from anonymized survey responses submitted through CultureMonkey's platform. The data reflects what employees actually said, not what they were recruited to say.

How we define industries

We use the organization's self-reported industry classification at the time of survey setup. Each industry in a report requires a minimum sample size before it's included.

How scores are calculated

All scores are aggregated means on a 5-point scale, averaged across all qualifying responses within each sector or region for the reporting period.

What this data can’t tell you

These are directional benchmarks, not causal studies. A low score in your industry doesn't explain why. It tells you where to look. Use these reports to ask better questions, not to reach final conclusions.
