Here’s what I like about whitepapers from IBM’s Smarter Workforce Institute: They are short in length and long on data and context.I appreciate that they share the underlying scientific concepts within their analyses of the data from their massive WorkTrends survey. Over 19,000 workers in 26 countries, a cross-section of industries, all major job families, and thousands of organizations responded to the 2013/2014 survey.Watson is all about slicing and dicing data, and he came up with some interesting, although not surprising, conclusions about the impact of multiple channels of employee recognition.
