Industry Employment Satisfaction (part 2)
We recently conducted a study of fashion industry professionals and their various levels of satisfaction with their current or most recent employers. With over 800 responses, we asked people how satisfied, for example, they were with their company and how well it paid, the benefits, company leadership, advancement, etc…
For all of the questions, respondents were asked to score their employer on a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being the lowest and 5 the highest.
Whereas last week’s post dealt with monetary compensation, this week’s post deals with working environment issues like leadership, innovation, work/life balance, etc…
