Survey Results

In April 2010 Sigmar teamed up with SPSS Ireland to investigate attitudes and perceptions of Ireland’s executives towards the Sigmar Job Creation Initiative.

After officially launching the initiative in April, Sigmar wanted to gather the feedback of the main stakeholders of this project to drive the recognition of these initiatives national wide.

The Sigmar Job Creation Initiative is a 10 point plan comprising practical recommendations from employers. The prime objective of each initiative is to create jobs and remove barriers for jobseekers.

Sixty one (61) employment leaders participated in the survey out of a total of one hundred and eighty five (185) people who received the survey link via email. An overall response rate of 33%was achieved.

Top 3 initiatives:

• 1.  Employee Innovation Initiative (10.65)
• 2.  Enterprise Placement Scheme (10.48)
• 3.  SME Graduate Programme (10.43)

 Methodology

The survey was conducted via the internet using the SPSS web survey tool – “Data Collection‟. All delegates received an introductory email with the link to the online survey. A unique access code was allocated to each of the one hundred and eighty five (185) people who received the invitation. A few extra codes were generated to accommodate any changes in the delegates list. The online survey was active for two weeks, from 5th to 19th of May 2010.
