ABOUT THE STUDY

• This study captures the sentiments and intentions of finance and HR leaders from emerging and middle market enterprises from diverse industries and geographic markets. It reveals how leaders plan to meet the goals they have set for 2022 to deliver improved top-line, bottom-line, and shareholder value performance, and to increase their returns on both financial and human capital.
• This is the 12th Annual CFO Sentiment Study and the fourth to include CHRO sentiment.
• More than 500 finance and HR leaders from emerging and middle market enterprises representing the members of the CFO Alliance and CHRO Alliance participated in the study, completing in-depth surveys, one-to-one interviews, and small group discussions between November 2021 and January 7, 2022. Through our global partnerships, 20% of the survey respondents represent enterprises in non-U.S. markets.
