Introducing the Workforce Champion

Most organizations are watching engagement scores climb while attrition risk rise right alongside them. The same "engaged" employees who tell surveys they're satisfied are also planning to leave within the year.

This ebook introduces the Workforce Champion: the person inside HR, internal comms, operations, or frontline management who refuses to accept that contradiction.

Drawing on Firstup's 2026 State of Employee Engagement Report, Forrester's Total Economic Impact™ study, other new research data, and real outcomes from organizations like Cooper University Health Care, Wellstar, and Swissport, this guide breaks down why the old engagement dashboard is missing the real risk, and introduces five tenets that separate organizations that just talk about employee experience…from ones that can prove it moves the business.
