Market-Moving Insights: Research & Thought Leadership
Visier Community Data of more than four million live employee records from nearly 100 companies across the U.S., Canada, and Europe continually informs articles and research reports. In this first quarter, these reports included:
Visier Insights™ Report: The Individual Contributor Penalty
In March, Visier partnered with a team of researchers from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, providing Visier Community Data to help uncover the systematic facts surrounding the role of individual contributors compared to team leaders.
"In the first results from an ongoing collaboration with Visier, we find that individual contributors often face a much flatter career ladder with lower pay, slower pay growth, and less frequent promotions than team leaders," said Benjamin Friedrich, Associate Professor, Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management. "It raises questions around whether firms can value the contributions of these roles correctly, and improve how they attract, develop and retain that talent."
Visier's Monthly Resignation Report
Based on over 20 million anonymized employee records and Visier's advanced analytics, this report provides the most accurate view into employee resignation rates available today, and months ahead from similar data available through the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
