In collaboration with Humentum

International NGOs are decentralising, rethinking power structures, and redefining leadership.

But what do employees really think?

This research analyses engagement data from 24 global INGOs, uncovering the strongest drivers of engagement — and the areas where organisations still have work to do.

The analysis reveals
  • Leadership behaviours most strongly linked to engagement
  • Why leadership confidence varies between organisations
  • How DEI commitment influences workforce trust
  • The cultural factors that differentiate high-performing INGOs
  • Why learning from mistakes remains a sector-wide challenge
