A One-of-a-Kind Research Initiative: 
The Compelling Employment Offer

A unique collaboration between Association of British Orchestras and the Advisory Board for the Arts

 

How do you attract and retain talent in a fast changing employment landscape?

Participate in our Compelling Offer Survey and find out.

 

What do staff really want and expect from their leadership? What are the investments in staff that actually generate loyalty? How can organizations stand out when trying to attract the best talent?

Association of British Orchestras (ABO) and the Advisory Board for the Arts (ABA) are delighted to invite all ABO members to participate at no charge in the largest study to uncover the true motivations of their staff, and successful strategies to address these critical questions.

The Survey will be open from June 25 through August 3, 2024. Participants will receive a digital copy of the overall findings in October 2024.

This research builds on ABA’s groundbreaking 2022-2023 Global “Compelling Employment Offer” Signature Research Initiative, which has resonated with arts leaders across the world.

For more information, including the research methodology, how to take the survey and the timeframe for the unveiling of findings, see the FAQ section. For more information or any further questions, contact Rebecca Eldridge (Rebecca@abo.org.uk) or the ABA team (survey@advisoryboardarts.com).
