The primary aim of this paper is to draw practitioners’ attention to lesser-known risks of digital marketing research: while it enables quick and low-cost results, quality and reliability are not guaranteed. The paper also surfaces broader consequences of transitioning from traditional research, based on offline investigations and face-to-face interviews carried out by professionals, to digital research. The paper presents the results of a survey on a cohort of 200 freelance interviewers working for Italy’s main research institutions, conducted through a self-administered questionnaire. Recently online marketing research, especially through panels, has gained meaningful traction. As demand for traditional marketing research contracts, professional interviewers are experiencing a material drop in requests for their in-field services and a worsening working environment. In return, this affects the quality of on field research they can provide. This is the first study, to the best of the author’s knowledge, where issues and limitations of digital research are studied from the perspective of professional interviewers. This study enables managers and organisations that commission marketing research to make more informed decisions when facing the trade-offs between traditional and digital methods. Furthermore, it provides a view on how such choices may impact the future of professional interviewers and their services.

Employee engagement is the need for modern business; it goes beyond employee satisfaction. It is an emotional commitment by employees towards their company. It has a direct influence on efficiency, productivity, employee retention, and the company’s profitability. Employee surveys are the most commonly used method to gather wide-ranging information from the employees about how satisfied and how engaged they are. Some of them also support in defining action plans to increase employee engagement results. However, it is a reactive measure to define and act on corrective actions, based employee satisfaction survey. In this research, I would like to study all secondary data available/accessible for different business domains in India and develop the guiding principles for new entrepreneurs. This will consist of tried, tested, and successful best practices from other companies of a similar domain.
