Study: Cohesion - Tomorrow's Bonding Forces

A study by PAWLIK Consultants in cooperation with rheingold Institut

What can help employees feel connected to their company? How can companies and managers create the right level of bonding to retain their employees? We used in-depth psychological interviews to get to the bottom of these complex questions. A representative survey corroberates the findings.

  • Panel with 1,028 people

Analysis

  • Linking the individual statements with screenfact‘s personality analysis;

“Identifying how employees feel about their company is becoming increasingly important, but also increasingly difficult. This study shows executives and HR managers what matters to people and how they can actively build more employee bonding within the company in the future”.

Joachim Pawlik, CEO and founder of the PAWLIK Group

“The boom in digital and flexible working models has led to a gradual erosion of bonding. This study looks behind the scenes at the unconscious psychological effects and influencing factors that can intensify cohesion and loyalty to the company”.

Stephan Grünewald, psychologist and co-founder of the rheingold Institute

“The study sheds light on individual differences in bonding behavior by combining general psychology with differential psychology and personality research. The combination is unique and enables HR managers to address individual needs in a differentiated way”.

Prof. Dr. David Scheffer, Head of Science of the PAWLIK Group
