Continuously rethink what is known about the employee experience and test those ideas through yearly empirical benchmarking research. Illuminate client strengths and struggles through custom application of insights gained from our benchmarking studies. Use results to report what aspects of work are most important to employees and provide actionable recommendations on how to elevate the experience at each individual organization.Conduct ad hoc research projects to understand specific areas of the work experience. Some specific areas I've investigated include inclusion, employee value proposition, employer branding, onboarding, goal setting, generational differences in engagement, sales and channel incentives, and the effectiveness of recognition and service anniversary programs.

Conducted high-integrity research to provide actionable recommendations to clients in a range of industries. Responsible for developing proposals, creating questionnaires, programming surveys, analyzing data (both basic and advanced techniques), writing reports and presenting results.My background in psychology primed me to approach market research with the spirit of "why." My experience in statistical modeling allows me to parse out multiple correlates of an outcome to determine which is the biggest driver. I'll tell you not only how the consumer feels, but also why.Some common methodologies I conducted were:- Mobile survey research- Product development, idea testing and concept testing- Pricing (Discrete Choice Modeling, Van Westendorp, and Gabor Granger analyses)- Choice Modeling (MaxDiff, CBC, ACBC, and Menu-based Conjoint)- Line Optimization (Shapley Value and TURF analyses)- Segmentation (Ensemble Clustering, Confirmatory Cross Factor clustering, and Reverse Segmentation)- Brand Equity Research, including Satisfaction, Brand Health, and Retention- Brand and Ad Tracking Research- Attitude and Usage (A&U) Research- Other univariate and multivariate statistical techniques, as applicable (Factor Analysis, Regression Models, Multidimensional Scaling/Perceptual Mapping, ANOVA Models, etc.)
