## Summary

Gallup's quarterly poll found U.S. employee engagement fell to 29% in the third quarter of 2026, its lowest level since 2011 and down two points from the prior quarter. The decline was concentrated among remote and hybrid workers, particularly at organizations that have adopted artificial intelligence, where the engagement advantage narrowed to two and three points. The survey of 21,648 adults was conducted Aug. 5-19, 2026, with a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage point.
