Background to Randstad Workmonitor (1)
The Randstad Workmonitor was launched in the
Netherlands in 2003, then in Germany, and now covers 33
countries around the world. The study encompasses
Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas. The Randstad
Workmonitor is published 4 times a year, making both local
and global trends in mobility visible over time.

The Workmonitors Mobility Index, which tracks employee
confidence and captures the likelihood of an employee
changing jobs within the next 6 months, provides a
comprehensive understanding of sentiments and trends in
the job market. Besides mobility, the survey addresses
employee satisfaction and personal motivation as well as a
rotating set of themed questions.
