State of Inclusion Report 2026: How Culture Is Driving Business Performance

All Sectors

Inclusive workplace cultures are increasingly linked to stronger organisational performance, employee retention and long-term business success. Yet a gap remains between organisations’ commitments to inclusion and employees’ everyday experiences.

Published by Onvero, the State of Inclusion Report 2026 examines the relationship between inclusion, leadership and organisational culture. The research finds that employees in the least inclusive workplaces are six times more likely to be planning to leave within the next year, highlighting the commercial implications of workplace culture. Building on Onvero’s 2025 research, the report explores how inclusive workplace cultures influence employee experience, retention and business performance. It highlights the continuing gap between organisational intentions and the practical implementation of inclusion strategies, despite growing recognition of culture as a strategic priority.
