Politics in the Workplace Report 2025
Workplace politics is a growing challenge that can impact productivity, engagement and culture. The Brightmine Politics in the Workplace Report 2025 reveals eye-opening trends every employer should address:
- 27% of employees say politics distracts them at work – up sharply from last year
- 64% have witnessed political disagreements, with some escalating into hostility
- Nearly half of organisations lack clear policies, exposing them to compliance and reputational risk
Employees are divided on whether political discussions belong at work, and leaders face pressure to balance neutrality with values-driven action. Without clear guidelines, the risk to trust and collaboration is real.
