For over 80 years Gallup has set the gold standard as an industry leader in public opinion research, and for over a decade Gallup has been conducting the World Poll, a groundbreaking effort to measure the attitudes and behaviors of people in more than 160 countries.
Said simply: This is the collective voice of the global workforce.
On July 11, Semafor will leverage the insights of the 2023 World Poll to access opinions of billions of workers for a live convening exploring the state of our global workforce.
Guided by Semafor’s journalists, this event will explore topics of critical importance to both leaders and employees – including hybrid work, employee engagement, burnout, changing demographics, and the growing importance of work-life balance – and offer key insights into crafting thriving workplaces in the year ahead.
Please note, you will not be able to register onsite for this event.
