New Report: There Are 6 Types of Workers. Understanding Them Can Help You Beat the Great Resignation - Jessica Stillman, Inc.

An extensive new report from Bain that digs into workers' changing expectations for their jobs suggests not. The authors spent a year surveying 20,000 workers in 10 countries (the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, China, India, Brazil, Indonesia, and Nigeria) as well as conducting in-depth interviews with more than 100 employees. They concluded that there aren't three work orientations (Bain calls them worker "archetypes"); there are six, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. "These archetypes help us better understand what it takes for different individuals to find a sense of purpose at work," the report states. If you know who you're dealing with, you're better placed not only to hire the right person for the right role, but also to help your existing team stick around.
