Co-workers, Colleagues, Job Satisfaction and Workplace Teamwork Study

We are interested in understanding what attributes and characteristics are most attractive in co-worker relationships. There has been exhaustive studies on workplace effectiveness, best management practices and how to be an effective team member. We are interested in understanding what co-workers think of each other, and what qualities they find attractive. Opinions abound. A google search will produce a multitude of sentiment, but there is very little hard, unbiased data. What we are proposing is a study that will provide data that is fact based on a set of 10 "ish" key characteristics, demographically indexed (generation or age based, geographic, industry type) and other measurements. This project should include engagement with workers, primarily in commercial or industrial sectors (non-government) along with analysis and opinion from the students. We have produced over 40 studies through this platform and have a strong understanding on how to work with your team, to ensure that they receive a strong learning opportunity.

Understanding Modern Learning Styles. Human Resources.

Historically it has been agreed that there are three key learning styles; kinesthetic (tactile), visual and auditory. However this categorization was first defined decades ago. We would like to present to our clients an updated perspective on this. What we are looking to discover is: a) whether or not there are subgroups within each style, b) if learning styles change as one ages (i.e.: born with one dominant style that changes through life), c) if this there has been a generational shift in this change with the shifts in parenting and/or the industrial age and d) with the proliferation of web based learning programs have learning styles changed?
