New Full-Length Paper! 🧑🏫 Exploring Workforce Factors in the Data Fields by Heather Soyka & Angela Murillo doi.org/10.7191/jesl... #DataLibs #RDM #WorkforceDevelopment #DEI
Exploring Workforce Factors in the Data Fields
As the data fields continue to grow and evolve, it is critical to examine factors that impact the workforce. This study explores various workforce development factors through a survey that asked data workers to describe their time spent on data-related activities, training needed for data-related activities, facilitators and barriers to workforce entry, facilitators and barriers to workforce retention, and the impact of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Drawing together these varied factors allows for examination and triangulation of overlapping factors that shape and contribute to workplace experiences for data professionals.
