I just took a LinkedIn poll 'Would you recommend your current company as a great place to work?' and results were quite interesting and bit surprising to me. I wonder if these results would be different if we weren't in a recession. Maybe employees are appreciating their employers more under tough times. I am also curious if we were to plot job security in comparison, we probably would have inverse results here. Interesting times when job security is low and employee satisfaction is high. If i was in the head hunting business this probably wouldn't be great news for me. More details on the results are available here. The charts give data by seniority, age, gender, job function and company size. No surprises that more senior staff and smaller business employees have rated their employers higher than the rest. It maybe a good idea for organizations to get data from linkedIn and see how their own employees have voted with respect to rest of the industry.
