ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. and SAN MATEO, CA, July 16, 2019 – 2019 – CNBC, First in Business Worldwide, and SurveyMonkey (Nasdaq: SVMK), a leading global survey software company, today announced the results of their second quarterly @Work Survey. The survey is part of CNBC’s @Work franchise, which includes a three-part event series exploring the future of work.
Each quarter, coinciding with the @Work CNBC events, CNBC and SurveyMonkey poll over 7,500 professionals to measure how Americans feel about their jobs across five key categories–pay, opportunities for advancement, recognition, autonomy and meaning.
The latest measure of the CNBC/SurveyMonkey Workplace Happiness Index is an optimistic 71 out of 100, unchanged from the most recent reading in April 2019.
Key findings from the July 2019 CNBC/SurveyMonkey @Work Survey include:
“The data tell us people find significant value in having mentors, and the benefits are clear at any stage of people’s careers,” said Jon Cohen, SurveyMonkey’s chief research officer. “Organizations that embrace a culture of mentorship, and encourage employees to participate in mentorship programs boost workplace happiness and lower the likelihood of losing their best performers.."
CNBC will present the results of the CNBC/SurveyMonkey @Work Survey today, Tuesday, July 16th on-air, online and on-stage at “@Work Human Capital + Finance” in Chicago, IL. For more information on the survey including the full results and methodology and in-depth articles, go to: cnbc.com/work.
