RESEARCH APPROACH The three-part research approach below was focused on select, publicly available data related to AEC firm policies and benefits. The recommendations herein are therefore not all-encompassing, however are intended as an initial sampling of ideas to provoke further discussion and investigation.
FIRSTHAND RESEARCH
ANALOGOUS RESEARCH
DEFINE BEST-IN-CLASS
• What do these groups of employees want during each specific career and life stage? • What are the biggest pain points these groups face within the AEC industry today? • Review relevant survey data:
• What are other industries already doing to support these groups? • What can we learn from non-AEC employers? • Identify trends
• What does an “ideal” AEC employer look like, for these groups? • Define “Best in Class” attributes • Identify innovative employers who are already implementing certain benefits, policies, or cultural shifts to better support these groups
• Zweig Group 2024 Best Firms to Work For dataset • Zweig Group People & Culture Survey dataset • 2018 Equity by Design survey report
• Collect anecdotal evidence •
