BI WORLDWIDE publishes The New Rules of Engagement® global employee inspiration research report

BI WORLDWIDE has launched their latest global engagement report and will host two live webinars to examine and expand on the contents.

The New Rules of Engagement® global employee inspiration research report is a collection of 11 workplace trends, including recognition, feedback, workplace change, AI, deskless and frontline employees, milestones, compensation, and communication.

BI WORLDWIDE partnered with a United States panel company and the panel company’s global partners to target English-speaking employees of companies with 1,000 employees or more.

After completing data quality procedures, a total of 2,192 surveys were included with 1,088 of those being U.S. surveys and 1,104 being non-U.S. surveys. A total of 18 countries on five continents were represented in the surveys from twenty industries, including healthcare, consumer goods and services, technology, and finance.

The full report is available here.

In conjunction with the release of The New Rules of Engagement® report, BIW is hosting two live webinars.

On Wednesday, February 25, Mark Hirschfeld, Vice President, Consulting and Strategic Partnerships, and Amy Stern, Vice President, Employee Performance, will present the employee engagement-focused elements of the report. They will lead a conversation about their research into the employee experience and how organizations are using that insight to deliver business outcomes.

Then, on Wednesday, March 4, Hirschfeld and Kurt Nelson Ph.D., Founder and President of The Lantern Group, will present the sales-focused research in the report, and will talk about how compensation and recognition work together to drive higher sales performance and retention.
