Sika has posted standout results from its 2026 Global Employee Survey, revealing an employee engagement score of 88 index points, up two points from 2024 and comfortably above the company’s long-term target.
The result not only marks year-on-year improvement but also surpasses Sika’s Strategy 2028 engagement benchmark of 80, reinforcing what the company describes as a deeply embedded global culture of collaboration and performance.
The bi-annual survey, run by an external market research firm, recorded an exceptional 88% participation rate this year. It measures employee sentiment across the global workforce and is used to guide cultural and organisational improvements.
Despite continued geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, Sika said engagement levels remain strongly elevated and well above external industry benchmarks.
The company credited its focus on innovation, teamwork and sustainable growth for the sustained momentum in employee sentiment.
Thomas Hasler, CEO, said: “These results reflect the exceptional dedication and motivation of our employees worldwide and shows the strengths of our unique Sika culture, the “Sika Spirit”.
"Their engagement is the foundation of our success and a critical factor in why Sika outperforms our industry. Our teams have demonstrated remarkable resilience and an unwavering commitment to our shared vision. I am proud of how our people continue to turn customer challenges into opportunities, making Sika stronger every day. A heartfelt thank you to all our employees for their dedication, passion, and outstanding contributions.“
Sika, a global specialty chemicals company operating in 103 countries with more than 400 factories, said the results confirm its workforce remains closely aligned with its strategic direction as it continues to support the transformation of construction and transport industries toward more sustainable solutions.
In 2025, the company reported 33,700 employees and annual sales of CHF 11.20 billion, underscoring its position as a major global player in construction and industrial chemicals.
