Many business leaders today are navigating a mix of commercial pressure and people strain.
According to Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace 2026 Report, global employee engagement fell to just 20% in 2025, its lowest level in five years. The decline was driven largely by a sharp drop in manager engagement, which fell from 30% to 22% between 2022 and 2025. No region in the world saw an increase.
At the same time, expectations continue to rise, from adapting to AI, to improving engagement, to sustaining performance.
For L&D, HR, OD, and Talent leaders, the challenge is sharper still. You are expected to solve engagement, upskill for AI, and retain talent, often with flat or shrinking budgets. The question is not which programme to choose. It is why so few solutions actually drive change behaviour in workplace training beyond the room.
In many cases, the challenge is not knowing what needs attention, such as early employee disengagement signs. The harder gap is turning that knowledge into consistent action when pressure builds.
This is where the dicussion about workforce friction becomes relevant.
Workforce friction is the everyday drag that slows performance and makes change harder to sustain.
It can show up as:
These are not isolated incidents. According to Gallup’s 2026 data, 64% of employees worldwide are not engaged and a further 16% are actively disengaged. That means only 1 in 5 employees is psychologically connected to their work, their team, and their employer. The cost is significant: disengagement drains an estimated $10 trillion from the global economy each year (Gallup, 2026), equivalent to roughly 9% of global GDP.
Over time, this friction can affect performance, retention, and the ability to turn priorities into action. Building team resilience under pressure helps individuals and teams absorb pressure without breaking momentum. Resilience is not just a wellbeing metric, it directly affects voluntary turnover and discretionary effort.
This showcase features Jungle Fire™, an experiential learning experience designed to surface how teams plan, communicate, and execute when time and resources are limited.
Grounded in Eagles Flight’s experiential learning approach and backed by principles of behavioural science, the session helps participants connect what happens in the experience to real workplace behaviours, including planning, resource utilisation, teamwork, risk-taking, and information gathering.
Unlike typical learning activities, Jungle Fire™ uses behavioural science to create observable patterns of planning, risk-taking, and coordination,that maps directly to how your teams respond to real deadlines and ambiguity. This is what makes it one of the most effective L&D programmes that drive behaviour change, because it doesn’t just teach skills. It changes how people act under pressure.
The experience aims to support you in:
You already have the strategy. Your leadership team has agreed on the priorities. The question nobody is answering well is: why does execution still stall when pressure builds?
This is not a training problem. It is a behaviour-under-pressure problem, and it is invisible until you surface it deliberately. L&D programmes that drive behaviour change are the missing link between strategy and results. This showcase gives you a structured way to see it, name it, and start addressing it.
Here’s what past attendees shared about their experience, and why fellow leaders are already securing their place at the next one.
“It’s really engaging and has very practical application to what is actually happening in our workplace. The interactive element really brought the realism of the activities to the programme. And tying everything together at the end with strong learning points helped reinforce the insights.”
Barnabas, Assistant Director, Organisation Excellence, GovTech Singapore
