project update

Funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Generations of Talent Study has conducted a survey with over 11,000 employees from 7 multinational employers in 11 different countries of operation. The Study is addressing the following core questions:

• How do employees’ priorities, needs, utilization of workplace-based resources, and satisfaction with quality of employment vary by their age, career stage, and life stage?
• How are workplace-based resources for quality of employment related to employees’ current engagement in work, productivity, and future career transitions in different countries?
• How does country context, including public policies and cultural orientations, influence employees’ priorities, needs, utilization of workplace-based resources, and evaluations of quality of employment?

We are currently completing reports comparing responses from employees of each country to one another. Release of these reports is scheduled for late Spring 2011.
