Over the past few weeks the CIPD members LinkedIn group have been involved in a poll looking at the employment 'state' of the profession, the results are not what many expected.
With over 500 people involved it is not a sample to be ignored.
Consider the results to be 'tainted' from the whole CIPD population as you had to be a member of LinkedIn to vote, none-the less it does show some interesting factors and trends:
- Overall 48% employees in corporates, 36% freelance/ independent
- Over 35yrs old and the majority of members are freelance in one capacity or another
- Corporate employees 49% Female 26% Male
- Freelance 29% Female 54% Male
- 25% of members are freelance/ interim working in corporates
- Aged over 55 - none employed in corporates !! scary!! where is the knowledge and experience?
With over 500 responders we have a significant set of data.. the question is what to do with it? What does this mean for the future of HR?
