Phoenix-Mesa, AZ (1888PressRelease)
May 24, 2008 - Just in time to release the findings before strategic planning season, Change Agents, Inc. has announced a new online survey for businesses of all sizes.
“Virtually everywhere I go lately, the hot topic of conversation is workforce management, or some aspect of it,” says Gayla Hodges, President of Change Agents, Inc. “Because workforce management is such an important part of the work we do with organizations who need to energize their workforces to achieve new strategic goals and to negotiate strategic organizational change, we are currently planning a cluster of articles, white papers and products designed to help companies cope more effectively and efficiently with workforce management in today’s business environment,” she says.
In addition to the need to do more with less, most organizations are facing the beginning of two crucial situations which will dramatically change the way they approach workforce management issues. Those situations are (1) the retirement of the Baby Boomer Generation, and (2) the first labor shortage in the U.S. in more than fifty years.
The struggle to deal with these uncertainties and unknowns is raising a number of issues in workforce management which must now be addressed in new ways. Because Hodges and her team of change agents cannot work with every company in need of their assistance, they are producing resources to help other companies get their corporate minds around the issues and the new approaches necessary to survive in the future. This survey is intended to provide both basic information about the issues and insight into where the pain is most acute.
The survey is available online at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=xVTFOXWjV6LT8AR81UyroA_3d_3d and is open to anyone in the business sector. In fact, Hodges says they hope to reach a number of new people who will respond to the survey.
Survey findings will be initially outlined in the June issue of their newsletter, More Than Small Change (subscribe at http://www.changeagentsinc.com/html/landing_page.html). This initial report will be largely initial findings. The results of more intensive analysis and follow-up with those who raise questions or offer additional comments will be summarized in a White Paper and the findings will fuel future articles, white papers and products. This is the first insight survey opened to the general business community by Change Agents, Inc.
