We’ve all heard it: “People don’t leave companies, they leave managers.”
But is it really that simple?
At D Jungle People, we went beyond headlines and hot takes. We surveyed over 1200 working professionals across Malaysia to uncover what truly drives or drains – employee commitment in today’s evolving workplace.
What we found surprised us.
Yes, compensation matters.
But more than that, employees crave meaningful work, strong team climates, and leaders who understand their human needs not just their performance metrics.
Here’s a sneak peek:
- 68% of employees say they’re committed… but that commitment drops sharply after the first year.
- Gen Zs value purpose more than perks – and they’re struggling most with staying engaged.
- And while managers believe they’re doing well, the data suggests a hidden gap between confidence and real impact.
The big question:
💡 Are your managers unknowingly the reason your best people are leaving?
We break it all down in our full Employee Engagement Survey Report 2024 – with insights, action points, and ideas to help you build the kind of workplace people want to stay and grow in.
Because commitment isn’t built by chance. It’s built with intention.
