Rethinking Change Management is a 2026 national workforce study surveying 1,000 currently employed Americans, census-weighted for age, gender, geography, and ethnicity, with a ±3.1% margin of error at 95% confidence. It was designed to probe the gap between what organizations believe they provide during change and what workers actually experience, analyzed across generation, job role, and work arrangement. The findings reveal five cross-cutting themes that challenge conventional change management thinking and give senior leaders a clearer, more honest picture of why organizational change so often fails.
