Signal Only 20% of US workers feel strongly connected to their company culture

Summary

A 2025 Gallup poll cited by Deloitte found that just 20% of US workers feel a strong connection to their company's culture. Deloitte uses the figure to show that workplace culture is under visible strain. The report attributes this to a convergence of shifting power dynamics, as the job market becomes less favorable to workers, and AI's growing impact on jobs and daily work. Trust is also eroding in both directions, with workers trusting employers less and leaders reporting less trust in their staff. Deloitte argues that such weak attachment leaves cultures vulnerable, since AI can further erode weak cultures unless organizations deliberately reinforce and evolve them.
