The Randstad Workmonitor
After the successful introduction of the Workmonitor in the Netherlands in
2003 and more recently in Germany, the survey now covers 29 countries
around the world, encompassing Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas. The
Randstad Workmonitor is published four times a year, making both local and
global trends in mobility regularly visible over time.
The Workmonitor’s Mobility Index, which tracks employee confidence and
captures expectations surrounding the likelihood of changing employers
within a six month time frame, provides a comprehensive understanding of
job market sentiments and employee trends. In addition to measuring
mobility, also employee satisfaction & personal motivation, as well as a
rotating set of themed questions are part of the survey.
The quantitative study is conducted via an online questionnaire among a
population aged 18-65, working a minimum of 24 hours a week in a paid job
(not self-employed). The minimal sample size is 400 interviews per country,
using Survey Sampling International. Research for the first wave 2011 was
conducted from February 17 to 27, 2011.
