COHRE strives to be the world leader in research designed to contribute significantly to companies' ability to respond effectively to the changing organizational landscape. Research projects span a variety of human resources and organizational issues including career development in the new economy, knowledge sharing and protection of intellectual capital, employee retention, causes and consequences of turnover, global leadership, and adoption of best practices. Premier researchers from the Berkeley campus and from around the world form research teams, and these teams conduct studies that are relevant not only for participating organizations but also for organizations in general. Study reports are disseminated to all COHRE members, and special reports are provided to study participants.
