The secret people experience sauce of university spin-offs growing against the odds
Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research paper focuses on employee experience quality in university spin-off companies in Portugal. Specifically, it explores seven dimensions of employment quality identified by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) framework: physical health, mental health and human rights; income and benefits from employment; hours flexibility and work-life balance; employment security and social protection; social dialogue; skills development and training; and workplace relationships and motivation. The findings show that similar challenges face start-ups and university spin-offs, such as retaining talent while paying them lower wages, and motivating people to absorb high work pressure and expectations for sustained periods. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
