We were impressed this time by Hay Group’s work on different generations in the workforce; see, for example, Managing a
multi-generation workforce: the myths vs. the realities. Based on analysis of data from over five million employees across
the world, this report unpicks easy answers, such as ’Blame Generation Y—they’re too demanding’, and provides an
engaging and thought-provoking read.

After not appearing in our last ratings due to insufficient material, Hay Group is back and scores better than other HR consulting firms, but still sits well below the half-way point.

On the plus side, Hay Group is willing to focus on specific sectors and geographies – something that most people-focused material fails to do. The firm also leverages its databases to underpin some of its thought leadership.
