Bardzo ciekawą ankietę przygotowały firma: AchieveGlobal. Jest to ogólnopolskie badanie ” Twój Zespół“. Poniżej cytat ze strony organizatora:

Choć to właśnie w zespołach spotykają się i uzupełniają kompetencje pracowników, rzadko są one bezpośrednim przedmiotem badań. Uważamy, że zasługują na bardziej szczegółową uwagę, dlatego przygotowaliśmy wyjątkowe badanie funkcjonowania zespołów w polskich organizacjach oraz preferencji Polaków w tym obszarze. Niezależnie od tego czy jesteś członkiem zespołu, czy też nim zarządzasz, chcemy poznać Twoją opinię!

Wszyscy uczestnicy badania otrzymają bezpłatnie wstępną analizę swojego zespołu przygotowaną przez analityków AchieveGlobal. Dziesięciostronicowy raport zawiera wskazanie obecnego  i preferowanego model funkcjonowania zespołu według percepcji respondenta, opisy stylów funkcjonowania zespołów oraz ocenę funkcjonowania zespołu respondenta w czterech obszarach (atmosfera, otwartość, przepływ informacji i realizacja).

Wszystkich serdecznie zachęcam, do wzięcia udziału w tym badaniu, bo wyniki mogą się okazać interesujące, zwłaszcza jeśli można z tych danych cokolwiek wywnioskować na przyszłość… 

Więcej na ten temat oraz link do trwającego kilkanaście minut, anonimowego badania znajduje się TUTAJ.
