workforce revitalization
University of Phoenix College of Doctoral Studies announces the
release of a white paper by Erik Bean, Ed.D., associate research
chair with the Center for Leadership Studies and Organizational
Research (CLSOR), titled “Think Global, Act Local: The Impact of a
Global Mindset to Awaken Local Career Opportunities.”

learning and continuous skill development in maintaining career
optimism and adaptability in a globalized world.

can revitalize local career momentum. “A global perspective fosters
innovation and creativity. Exposure to different cultures and
business practices encourages the exchange of ideas, leading to
creative solutions for local challenges,” Bean states. “By
fostering innovation, driving economic growth, and bridging skills
gaps, a global perspective can revitalize local economies and
create a more inclusive and dynamic workforce.”
Bean holds a doctorate in education from the University of
Phoenix, with research interests in media literacy, cultural

research annually to provide insights on current workforce trends
and to help identify solutions to support and advance American
careers and create equity in the workplace. For the fourth annual
study, fielded between December 5, 2023-January 2, 2024, surveyed
more than 5,000 U.S. adults who either currently work or wish to be
working on how they feel about their careers at this moment in
time, including their concerns, their challenges, and the degree to
which they are optimistic about their careers. The study was
conducted among a nationally representative, sample of U.S. adults
and includes additional analysis of the workforce in the top twenty
DMA markets across the country to uncover geographic nuances. The
study also explores insights from 501 U.S. employers to provide
comparison between the workforce and those who hire, train, and
retain them. Additionally, for the first time, a statistical
modeling analysis was conducted to illustrate how employers and
employees can benefit financially from investing in career
optimism.
