Fifth Annual Kenexa World Conference --
Kenexa (NASDAQ: KNXA), a global provider of business solutions for
human resources, today announced that the Kenexa Research Institute
(KRI) has published its annual WorkTrends™ report. This
sought-after body of research was presented for the first time
today at the company's Fifth Annual World Conference, which is
being attended by Kenexa clients, partners, press and analysts.
Jack W. Wiley, Ph.D., founder and executive director, Kenexa
Research Institute, commented, "As we wrote this year's report,
economies around the world had started to show initial signs of
recovery. While this is optimistic, most countries' citizens are
asking 'how did we get into this situation in the first place?' and
seeking actionable information that will avert similar scenarios in
the future. The 2010 Kenexa Research Institute WorkTrends Report
explores the importance of leadership and managerial effectiveness
to employee engagement, as well as the relationship between trusted
leadership and organizational success."
The research focuses on employee engagement and how healthy
organizations are comprised of well-trained, engaged workers who
have the tools they need and are aligned toward common goals.
According to KRI, the four overall factors that consistently drive
employee engagement are leaders who inspire confidence in the
future; managers who recognize employees and emphasize quality and
improvement; exciting work and the opportunity to grow and develop;
and organizations that demonstrate a genuine responsibility to
their employees and communities.
Comparing country-level employee engagement differences in
India, China, The Netherlands, Mexico, Denmark, United States,
Switzerland, Canada, Brazil, Russia, Spain, Australia, United Arab
Emirates, Sweden, Finland, Saudi Arabia, Germany, United Kingdom,
France, Italy and Japan revealed that the order of these countries
is consistent with the depth of employee engagement by country.
India is ranked highest (71%) and Japan ranked lowest (38%.)
According to the 2010 Kenexa Research Institute Work Trends Report,
globally speaking, when employees report that they follow effective
leaders, the average employee engagement index score is 91%.
Wiley concluded, "Our findings show that organizations with the
highest levels of employee engagement and best leadership will
recover from the economic downturn faster and emerge in a stronger
position. This year's WorkTrends Report will enable readers to
learn how to gain and sustain competitive advantages through
effective leadership."
Kenexa Research Institute has been collecting the opinions of
workers from a random selection of full-time employees in the
United States nearly every year since 1985. Since 2007, WorkTrends
has been administered online, which has allowed data to be
collected outside the United States. In 2010, approximately 10,000
workers in the U.S. and 1,000 individuals in each of the following
countries took the survey: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, The
Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom
and select countries in the Gulf Co-op Council (GCC), namely Saudi
Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar. Altogether, 29,338
employees were surveyed in 2010.
The full WorkTrends report can be purchased for $499. More
