Novations Four StagesŪ of Contribution Research Expands into Asia
Research Explores the Workplace Issues that Influence
and Inhibit Employee Performance Globally
BOSTON, MA, December 3, 2009, Novations Group, Inc. (www.novations.com) today announced the
expansion of its Four Stages® of Contribution research
project to include employees in mainland China, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, and Japan. Novations has
partnered with Right Management in Asia (www.right.com) to identify
and solicit organizations to participate in the program, and
Leading Indicator Systems (www.leadingindicator.com)
to design and implement the assessment, with data collection
scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2010.
To mirror the increasingly global marketplace, Novations
will compare the data against its U.S. research findings
with the aim of helping organizations leverage all talent,
both within the United States and abroad.
“Organizations that want to remain competitive need
to think about their workforce globally, and find ways to
leverage the skills of all employees regardless of
location,” said Paul Terry, Vice-President of Global
Partnerships at Novations. “Neglecting to
consider the development of employees internationally
leaves talent on the table and this is not an option in
today’s competitive business world.”
The Four Stages research is addressing the “do more
with less” conundrum facing organizations today,
seeking to identify how employers can optimize performance
through better utilizing more employees, and better
understanding their employees’ strengths as well as
their developmental gaps.
Collected with the partnership of several leading
organizations in the U.S., the results include information
on the contribution and development of over 1700 managers
and direct reports. Data was collected from 2007-2009
and has resulted in three white papers to date:
• How
and “Y” One Generation Will Change
Business, exploring generational challenges and
the impact of Gen Y
• Mind
the Gap, examining manager and employee performance
rating discrepancies
• Ethnicity:
Reducing the Effects of Bias in the Workplace,
exploring the impact of ethnicity and race on development
programs
A fourth white paper examining the impact of gender will be
published later this year, and the complete U.S. findings
will be published in early 2010.
