In just a few days, our surveys of 2,700 employees and 2,700 executives will close, and we have already begun our analysis of both surveys.

Our interim results pointed to some important workforce trends—among them, that HR issues are not as top of mind as they should be; that there is a lack of understanding between what motivates and engages employees and what their companies deliver; and that by some key measures, Millennials and non-Millennials may not be as different from each other as most think they are.

We are excited to see how our preliminary findings hold up against the complete data sets and to share those findings with you. Stay tuned as we release the research in a series of short papers and country fact sheets over the summer—and as we share some of our results on the blog before then.
