Objective
Against the backdrop of changes in the world of work, Adecco Group Foundation sought to acquire the solutions and data required to understand and anticipate needs related to career change.
Approach
The two-part quantitative study involving 1,000 employees and 94 HR directors, supplemented by 13 interviews, enabled a comparison of perspectives and a better understanding of the challenges inherent to career change.
Impact
The results revealed high expectations, but also persistent hurdles, thus bringing to light the necessity for a more coordinated approach to career change support.
In-depth exploration of career change pathways
Understanding the motivations for career change
A two-part quantitative study was conducted among 94 HR directors from the ANDRH (National Association of Human Resources Directors) and a representative sample of 1,000 French employees. This approach enabled to compare the perceptions, expectations, and practices of companies and employees regarding career change.
Deep-dive into realities on the ground
Thirteen qualitative interviews were conducted with HR directors and career change experts. These interviews shed light on the hurdles, the rationale behind the strategy adopted, and the discrepancies observed, providing a more balanced understanding of how the career change process unfolds on the ground.
Operational recommendations
A summary report put the findings from the quantitative and qualitative studies into perspective, thus providing structure to the main findings before providing recommendations as to how to better support future career change needs.
Thanks to our partnership with Ifop Group and ANDRH, we now have a solid foundation for the development of support programs that best reflect the needs on the ground.
