Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) March 21, 2011 – Despite signs the economy is steadily improving, most employees feel less secure in their jobs compared to a year ago, according to a survey of 581 American workers by Right Management. Right Management is the talent and career management expert within Manpower, the global leader in innovative workforce solutions. Completed by the firm March 14, the online survey found that 71% reported they are less secure in their job than last year, while 14% feel just as secure and 15% more secure. “We really expected a more optimistic outlook by employees,” said Douglas J. Matthews, Right Management’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “In fact, we thought most respondents would tell us they were feeling at least as secure as a year ago now that it appears the recession is well past its depth. But it seems it will take more time for people to get over the trauma of the long downturn, and job security is probably the sort of indicator that lags behind any good news.” Read more.

(From PRNewswire) — In honor of International Coaching Week, the International Coach Federation (ICF) is sharing findings from its latest research study which benchmarks global awareness of professional coaching for the first time. “Continuing its role to provide the coaching profession and public with reliable industry research, the ICF is happy to share findings of our latest study during this annual coaching awareness week,” said ICF President and Professional Certified Coach Ed Modell. “The results are significant because they give us the first look at how widespread coaching has become in the last two decades on a global scale. Knowing more about the public’s knowledge of and experience with professional coaching now will help us sustain and build our industry’s future.” ICF commissioned PwC’s International Survey Unit (ISU) in 2010 to conduct the Global Consumer Awareness Study which surveyed 15,000 individuals, ages 25 and up, from 20 countries throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. Here are top findings from the Global Consumer Awareness Study: How aware are people of professional coaching? More than half of all respondents (51 percent) were generally aware of coaching. This includes those who indicated they were either “very aware” (12 percent) or “somewhat aware” (39 percent). General awareness varied by country from a high of 92 percent in South Africa to a low of 20 percent in Germany. When probed, nearly half (49 percent) of all respondents who indicated they were unaware of coaching, did in fact have an understanding of professional coaching. Read more .
