Today's businesses compete globally, with employee contribution as the engine that drives organizational
performance. For the past four years, as part of our ongoing Four Stages® of Contribution research, Global
Novations has collected data from individual contributors and managers on the subject of employee
development and contribution. We have examined the data according to age, gender, ethnicity, career stage
perception, and now, two world regions.
From 2007–2010, managers and direct reports in each of our targeted regions completed behavioral and
competency-based assessments. This measurement was not tied in any way to organizational performance
management or compensation systems.
In this report, we compare select Western (the United States, Brazil, and the United Kingdom) and Eastern
(mainland China, Hong Kong, and Singapore) employee populations, their demographics, and their perceptions
of self and direct report contribution levels. We were interested to see what impact these regions' differences
had on development and contribution.
