The Work from Home (WFH) boom has impacted Market Researchers from two very different angles: first as employees/workers ourselves, and second as research methodologists. In this episode, the discussion tackles both:
- What does ongoing full or partial WFH mean for our profession, our teams, our collaborations, our career paths? What skills may need to get amped up in 2022 to be successful in a WFH-heavy profession?
- What have we learned about doing research on WFH topics? Are some methodologies better suited for understanding hot WFH-related research topics better than others? For example, what methodologies are best for research on what new behaviors are here to stay and which ones will likely return to pre-COVID norms?
Welcome to Part 3 of our “look ahead” for 2022. In this episode Kathryn Korostoff is joined by real Research Rockstars Cindy Casper and Michelle LeGros—experienced Market Research & Insights leaders with both client-side and supplier-side roles. Both are also Research Rockstar instructors.
