The results of a study conducted among 9,000 employees worldwide suggest that only 25% of the surveyed employees are ready to use data effectively in their work.
And only 21% are confident in data literacy skills: the ability to read, understand, ask questions and work with data.
Moreover, 37% of respondents believe that learning how to work with data will help them work more productively.
It was also found that...
Three-quarters (74%) of those surveyed report that they feel overwhelmed when working with data, which this affects their productivity.
At the same time, 36% are so overloaded with work that they are looking for alternative methods of completing tasks - avoiding data.
Six out of ten respondents (61%) report that too much data causes them a lot of stress. This results in almost a third (31%) of employees taking at least one day of sick leave.
Besides, only 37% of employees trust their decisions when they are data-driven, and nearly half (48%) often rely on “gut feeling” when making decisions.
Research results show that employees who are confident in their data skills are 50% more likely to feel capable of making the right decisions.
