Research Old

“The study helped inform our business strategy moving forward.”

– Gary Swart, Former CEO of oDesk
Schawbel's esearch is featured in two major cover stories
His research is featured in magazine cover stories.

Dan has conducted more research focused on generations, the future of work, and economic trends than anyone else his age. He has lead over 50 research studies in partnership with companies such as Oracle, American Express, Randstad, and UKG. Schawbel has explored a plethora of issues around hiring, engagement, mental health, corporate culture, digital transformation, employee benefits and leadership. In total, he’s led studies that have collectively surveyed over 1.3 million c-suite, directors, HR leaders, managers, freelancers, job seekers, and students from 26 different countries.

The studies have been covered in over 800 media outlets including CNN, USA Today, Men’s Health, Fortune, BBC World News, NPR, LA Times, Fast Company, TIME, CNBC, and The Wall Street Journal. He led a study on “The Skills Gap” that was the cover story for Money Magazine’s May 2016 issue and another on “Employee Burnout” that was the cover story for HR Magazine’s June 2017 issue. The findings from his work have been impacted millions of people over the past decade.

Dan is responsible for conducting “The first definitive research in the marketplace to date on Gen Z (Human Resource Executive)”. In addition, he advised and commented on US News & World Report’s first-ever “Best Jobs for Millennials” report.
