Glendale, AZ – May 23, 2008 – Just in time to release the findings before strategic
planning season, Change Agents, Inc. has announced a new online survey for
businesses of all sizes. 

“Virtually everywhere I go
lately, the hot topic of conversation is workforce management, or some aspect
of it,” says Gayla Hodges, President of Change Agents, Inc.  “Because workforce management is such an
important part of the work we do with organizations who need to energize their
workforces to achieve new strategic goals and to negotiate strategic
organizational change, we are currently planning a cluster of articles, white
papers and products designed to help companies cope more effectively and
efficiently with workforce management in today’s business environment,” she
says.

In addition to the need to do
more with less, most organizations are facing the beginning of two crucial
situations which will dramatically change the way they approach workforce management
issues.  Those situations are (1) the
retirement of the Baby Boomer Generation, and (2) the first labor shortage in
the U.S. in more than fifty years. 

The struggle to deal with
these uncertainties and unknowns is raising a number of issues in workforce
management which must now be addressed in new ways.  Because Hodges and her team of change agents
cannot work with every company in need of their assistance, they are producing
resources to help other companies get their corporate minds around the issues
and the new approaches necessary to survive in the future.  This survey is intended to provide both basic
information about the issues and insight into where the pain is most acute. 

The survey is available
online at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=xVTFOXWjV6LT8AR81UyroA_3d_3d
and is open to anyone in the business sector. 
In fact, Hodges says they hope to reach a number of new people who will
respond to the survey. 

Survey findings will be
initially outlined in the June issue of their newsletter, More Than Small Change (subscribe at http://www.changeagentsinc.com/html/landing_page.html).
This initial report will be largely initial findings.  The results of more intensive analysis and
follow-up with those who raise questions or offer additional comments will be
summarized in a White Paper and the findings will fuel future articles, white
papers and products.  This is the first
insight survey opened to the general business community by Change Agents,
Inc.
