Just 13 Percent Expect Decrease in Business Activity Outlook More Optimistic Than a Year Ago
Express Employment Professionals released new survey results today revealing business leaders’ business performance predictions for 2016.
Business leaders were asked, “What are your business performance predictions for 2016?” Of those surveyed, 50 percent say, “We will see moderate growth.” Another 16 percent predict “exponential growth,” while 18 percent expect to “remain steady, but unchanged.” Just 13 percent say they “will likely experience a decrease in business activity.”
This shows business leaders are overall more optimistic at the end of 2015 than they were at the conclusion of 2014. Fewer are predicting a decrease in business activity, while more are predicting growth. Nevertheless, the picture is not quite as positive as at the end of 2013, when only seven percent of respondents expected a decrease in business activity for the year ahead.
The survey was conducted via Express Employment Professionals Refresh Leadership blog, a forum for executives and business leaders. This year’s survey question received 120 responses. The response choices for previous years differed from 2015 in that respondents were not given the option of choosing “moderate growth.”
