State of the Global Workplace: Key Trends in Middle East and North Africa

Among trends identified in Gallup’s 2022 State of the Global Workplace report, employees in Middle East and North Africa faced an increasingly challenging workplace environment in 2021. Employee engagement and wellbeing were well below global measures, with daily anger and sadness remaining markedly higher than the rest of the world. Another important discovery is that employees under 40 years of age are more highly engaged than their older colleagues, a testament to the emphasis governments in the region have placed on boosting youth employment. Younger employees also indicate a markedly greater willingness to relocate to pursue career opportunities elsewhere than older employees.
