Annual report draws from 12 months of workforce data across 20+ million profiles and major sectors including finance, healthcare, tech, education, and retail.

Aura Intelligence, the premier AI platform for Organizational Decision Intelligence and Bain & Company spinout, announced the release of its Workforce Industry Benchmarking Report, a comprehensive analysis of workforce trends from January 1 to December 31, 2024.

Based on insights from over 20 million company profiles, the report provides an unprecedented view into how sentiment, hiring patterns, attrition, and diversity evolved across key sectors, including finance, healthcare, technology, education, manufacturing, and retail, as organizations navigated another year of economic uncertainty, AI adoption, and shifting workplace expectations.

“This report isn’t based on surveys or speculation, it is based on how workforces actually behaved,” said Evan Sohn, CEO of Aura Intelligence. “We’re offering leadership teams real-time, evidence-based insights on what’s improving, what’s eroding, and where opportunity lies in 2025.”

Key Findings Include:

• Leadership Trust Is the New Metric to Watch: Sentiment toward senior leadership emerged as the most sensitive early indicator of broader organizational health,declining significantly in sectors facing layoffs, compliance controversies, or sudden RTO mandates.
• Increased employee satisfaction after structured returns, suggesting that context and execution matter more than the mandate itself.
• Hiring & Attrition Trends Show Deep Industry Disparities: Healthcare and education faced continued attrition pressures, while finance and tech stabilized after major cuts in early 2023.
• Diversity & Inclusion Sentiment Plateaued: After a surge in 2020–2022, DEI sentiment across most sectors flattened in 2024, with some industries showing signs of fatigue or disillusionment, especially among younger professionals.
• Burnout Is Becoming Disconnection: Work-life balance and career opportunity scores dipped in sectors with aggressive productivity mandates or inconsistent hybrid models, pointing to what Aura calls a growing silent disengagement.

The Workforce Industry Benchmarking Report is available now to enterprise leaders, HR executives, and media partners. Last year’s report was downloaded nearly 300 times in its first month; this year’s release includes expanded sector coverage, new predictive analytics, and visual dashboards.
