Women Display Stronger Employee Engagement
One in five women is extremely motivated to explore career growth opportunities
Women lead men by six percentage points in workplace engagement—34% versus 28%—according to Gallup data from the fourth quarter of 2025. Furthermore, one in five women surveyed said they are extremely motivated to explore career growth opportunities, compared with 16% of men.
While women’s engagement has fluctuated during the past four years, it has consistently maintained an edge over men’s, Gallup reported. Notably, the current six-point gap is slightly higher than the average over the previous four years.
Unfortunately, Gallup found that nearly one-third of women (31%) said they “very often” or “always” feel burned out at work, compared to 23% of men. Furthermore, among full-time employed workers with children, 33% of women versus 25% of men reported “always” or “very often” experiencing burnout.
From 2022 through 2025, an average of 29% of women in leadership roles reported experiencing burnout, compared with 19% of men. Among managers, burnout rates were 34% for women and 27% for men.
Still, women are seven points more likely than men to strongly agree that someone at work encourages their development (33% versus 26%). Women are six points more likely to strongly agree that they know what is expected of them at work (51% versus 45%).
Furthermore, Gallup found that women lead by five points in strongly agreeing that:
- They have the opportunity to do what they do best every day.
- The mission or purpose of their organization makes them feel their job is important.
- They have a best friend at work.
DIGNITY Act Surpasses 75 Stakeholder Endorsements
Support for the DIGNITY Act (H.R.4393) continues to grow, with the legislation now surpassing 75 endorsements from organizations across the faith, business, national security, and civic sectors. The supporters represent a wide range of voices, reflecting broad national support for restoring order to the immigration system while strengthening our communities and workforce.
Last week, dozens of senior pastors traveled to the U.S. Capitol to speak in favor of the legislation and bring the perspective of faith communities to the immigration debate. At the same time, organizations such as National Association of Manufacturers and other leaders from the business community continue to announce endorsements of the bill.
“The momentum behind the DIGNITY Act shows that Americans are ready to finally fix our immigration system,” said Rep. María Elvira Salazar (Florida-27). “Faith leaders, workers, businesses, and the American public all see the same reality: The current system isn’t working. Congress now has a serious, workable proposal on the table, and it’s time to act.”
