Understanding Motivations of Arts & Culture Employees: Insights from ABA’s Global Staff Survey
In this webinar, ABA will unveil its most recent findings from The Compelling Employer, a groundbreaking research initiative examining the employment preferences of arts and culture employees across genres and geographies in Q4 2024. With over 800 participants across 45 organizations, ABA’s Compelling Employer survey identifies the job attributes that matter most to employees and how those attributes have changed since 2022.
Our Compelling Employer survey uses conjoint analysis to give arts and culture leaders a much clearer picture of what employees want in a job, and what they are willing to trade off to get it. ABA analyzed nineteen attributes including artistic reputation, job flexibility, organizational commitment to DEI, manager quality, and a values-led culture, to name just a few. This webinar will answer the following questions:
Which job attributes are most important to arts and culture employees
Which investments in employment attributes yield the greatest reward?
How do preferences differ among demographics and populations?
We invite you to join ABA's Executive Director of Research, Leila Ghorashi, for an overview of the results, which according to preliminary analyses are fascinating.
