What Talent Wants - Automotive

Every year, we conduct a large, global survey of workers to find out about their attitudes and feelings towards their work, the employment market and their employers. In this paper we discuss the overall trends in the 2013 survey with a spotlight on those findings from nearly 3000 workers in the Automotive sector.

But first, a brief look at what’s changed over the past year.

When comparing the results of our Kelly Workforce Index results over the past two years (2012 and 2013), it seems that workers feel a declining sense of happiness with, and meaning in, the work they are doing. They also showed an increased focus on financial reward and there has been a small increase (two percentage points) in the proportion of people working in contract and temporary roles.
