The HC Industry Report – Banking 2025 provides an exceptionally clear picture of what drives and challenges employees in today’s banking environment. It shows a resilient workforce that maintains high well-being and trust in leaders, yet faces rising fatigue, limited autonomy, and uncertainty about career progression. These insights confirm much of what we’ve observed in practice — that engagement today depends less on formal structures and more on how leadership builds connection, recognition, and purpose.
We can use the report’s findings to further align our KPIs around key engagement drivers such as autonomy, recognition, and leadership consistency. Real-time sentiment tracking through HeartCount tool already helps us respond quickly and keep a close pulse on our people. Looking ahead, insights of this kind will be essential — helping HR leaders combine data and empathy to sustain motivation, strengthen culture, and stay competitive in a fast-changing market.
