Key Demographic Insight
Tenure Matters More Than Gender
Employee sentiment varies more by tenure than by gender.
New joiners consistently report the strongest experience across engagement, leadership and communication, while founding cohort employees report lower scores despite having the deepest organisational knowledge.
The sharpest wellbeing decline occurs among employees aged 39–43 before recovering among older employees, suggesting a mid-career pressure point.
