Despite ongoing disruption and rapid change across the workplace, Gallup found Regions continues to set the standard for building a thriving, high-performance culture. The organization creates an environment where employees feel valued, heard and equipped to do their best work, even amid complexity and uncertainty.

Gallup’s research consistently shows organizations that prioritize both people and performance are better positioned for long-term success. Gallup’s meta-analysis on team engagement and performance is the most comprehensive workplace study ever conducted, with data on more than 3.3 million employees in 347 organizations across 53 industries and 90 countries. Highly engaged organizations significantly outperform their peers on important business outcomes, including customer ratings, profitability, productivity, turnover, safety incidents, shrinkage, absenteeism, quality, wellbeing and organizational citizenship.
