Understanding the Business
of Work and People

How is a career defined today among today’s workers?

What are their career goals?

What do they perceive as drivers of advancement?

On the flip side, what holds them back?

What are their attitudes and perceptions around work and career?

These are the questions we wanted answers to when we conducted the first State of Work and Career Success Survey in 2021. We found that work dynamics and career journeys have fundamentally changed — and that organizations need to change, too, if they want to thrive in this new world of work.
