Alan Rosen, a PhD student, is recruiting supervisors to participate in a research study being conducted through Claremont Graduate University examining workplace experiences, including personality, working relationships, and workplace behaviors.

You may be eligible to participate if you:

• Are 19 years of age or older,
• Live in the United States or Canada, and
• Currently supervise at least one employee who reports directly to you.

Participation involves completing an online survey that takes approximately 15 minutes. As part of the study, supervisors will be asked to identify up to three direct-report employees, who may then be invited separately to complete their own confidential survey about their workplace experiences. Participation is voluntary. Supervisors will not have access to employees’ survey responses, and employees will not have access to supervisors’ survey responses. This study is being conducted by Alan Rosen, a doctoral student in Organizational Behavior at Claremont Graduate University, under the supervision of Dr. Stephen Gilliland. CGU IRB Study #5399

Through innovative, data-driven strategies, she has helped position wellbeing as a true business priority, impacting thousands of associates in meaningful ways.

Natalie’s influence extends far beyond her organization. Through her leadership with SHRM Mid-Florida and her role as District Director for SHRM Florida, she continues to elevate the HR profession by supporting leaders, strengthening chapters, and fostering connection across the state.

Her commitment to service is equally inspiring. From her work with the Lakeland Economic Development Council’s High Future Leaders, to coordinating volunteer efforts through Publix Serves, and supporting youth development through TB 21 Hoops Basketball Academy.
