The 2012 Kelly Global Workforce Index (KGWI) brings together the findings from almost 170,000 respondents from 30 countries. It shows the results of diverse forces impacting the contemporary workplace, including generational and geographic diversity, technology, employee empowerment, and the widespread use of social media.

This fourth instalment of the 2012 KGWI looks at issues surrounding job mobility and career progression as part of a shift to a more autonomous and empowered workforce. It shows a changing attitude on the part of employees, with more embracing the notion of gaining new experiences and skills with multiple employers.

Research highlights reveal:

• Less than 1/3 of employees believe their career will benefit by remaining with their current employer
• 49% of employees are always looking out for a new position
• 70% of employees believe multiple employers are an asset
• 69% think they'll secure a better position

It reveals the challenge facing many organisations, with employees constantly seeking out new employment opportunities, even when they are happy in their jobs. The survey also shows the way that employees are using intelligence from the labour market to negotiate better outcomes with their employers, and how they judge their employment prospects over the coming year.   Access the report now

Most of us have participated in a business context, the pressure's on and you need an idea. "Hey team - let's brainstorm!"

Brainstorming is an idea generation technique where groups come together to nut out a solution for a specific problem by gathering a list of spontaneous ideas. But does it bring the best free thinking out of people or is it a method that kills creativity, stifles self expression and ultimately suppresses the best ideas?  

In this animated video by the RSA, journalist and author, Jonah Lehrer, argues that brainstorming produces less original ideas than those people who work by themselves. Exploring the ideas from the father of brainstorming, Alex Osborn, to skeptic, Charlan Nemeth, Jonah explains why brainstorming just doesn't work.
