@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/4346, title = {The Many Faces of your Employees: Insights into the Emerging Markets Workforce}, author = {Urvi Shriram}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {The higher compounded growth rates coupled with favourable demographics in emerging markets portend abundant opportunities for multinational organizations. With many organizations competing for talent in these growing markets, their ability to succeed will depend on their understanding of local workforce needs and aspirations. Using data from the Towers Watson 2010 Global Workforce Study, this paper highlights differences in employee engagement, turnover risks, and attraction and retention drivers between the two markets. Apart from looking at the traditional drivers of employee engagement, the study also explores the value placed by employees on elements like a strong senior leadership, managerial capabilities and career advancement opportunities. Results reveal that emerging markets employees seem to be more engaged and value the non-traditional elements more highly than the developed markets employees.}, journal = {International Journal of Economics and Management Engineering}, volume = {6}, number = {4}, year = {2012}, pages = {489 - 495}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/4346}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/64}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 64, 2012}, }
