As a service to the HR community, every two years Discovery Surveys, Inc. conducts a survey of human resource professionals designed to help HR professionals learn how their views of their own jobs compare to those of others in the human resource field. This year, Gatti & Associates has assisted with the study. This report presents the results.
The data was gathered from 545 HR professionals during March and April of 2006. Email invitations were sent to approximately 6,000 HR professionals along with a link to the electronic survey. The majority of the respondents are senior HR professionals from the Northeast with more than 10 years experience in the field. (See Part 5 for more details about the respondents.)
This report compares the results to the views of the more than 50,000 employees included in the Discovery Surveys, Inc. © Normative Database of employee attitudes.
The report is organized into the following five parts:
Part 1 – How HR Professionals Feel About their Jobs
Part 2 – How HR Professionals Feel About their Role in their Organization
Part 3 – What HR Professionals Feel are the Most Challenging Aspects of their Work;
Part 4 – The Career Plans of HR Professionals; and
Part 5 – About the Sample
The tables below present the views of HR professionals toward selected aspects of their jobs. Our interpretations of these results follow each table.
