In discussing the existence of a “carbon tax on talent” that was among the survey’s key findings, DeCew said that

What was exciting about it is the partnership of these schools in the Global Network for Advanced Management, 28 schools across all these different geographies, regions and cultures allowed us to be able survey … and get statistically significant results to be able to say, ‘Look this does exist and it’s something companies need to take into account as they move forward.’  The lifeblood of any organization is going to be the talent that you can attract and maintain, and in this instance you’re really seeing that if you don’t have a strategy, these students are not going to go work for you, and, interestingly enough, they think that’s aligned with their careers…They see these measures as being tied to economic growth, and they want to work somewhere where they’re going to see success over a long period of time.
