Connecting Worker Satisfaction With Opportunity
The first annual MIT Sloan Management Review/Deloitte Future of the Workforce Global Executive Survey and Research Report finds that many leaders and workers alike are frustrated with ongoing human capital investment initiatives. The research suggests that as organizations look for meaningful ways to invest in their workforces, the most effective approaches have a common core: opportunity.
Assessing Worker Happiness and Satisfaction
This year’s research also developed a Net Promoter-like scoring tool to understand how workers view their organization’s investment in their growth and development. Respondents were asked to rate four statements about their satisfaction at work on a 10-point scale. Those responses were then grouped into three categories:
Promoters
highly satisfied or satisfied
Neutrals
neither satisfied nor dissatisfied
Detractors
highly dissatisfied or dissatisfied
