The Annual Elliott Scott HR Survey is known for providing valuable insights into the global HR industry. This year, we focused on five key locations: Brazil, Hong Kong, Singapore, The United Kingdom and the United States. We surveyed participants in our candidate, client and social networks, compiling vital market intelligence to better understand the HR industry’s landscape globally. We had 1201 participants complete our survey globally, 62% of whom were female. Respondents were predominantly mid to senior-level HR professionals, with the majority from a generalist HR function. Banking and finance, IT, and manufacturing were the top three global sectors.
