Business Barometers
GALA's Business Barometers are in-depth reports based on our market research, conducted via surveys. Barometer reports are made for decision makers who want deeper insights to truly understand what's going on in the industry.
Business Barometers explore three core areas based on member interest:
- Economic Indicators: a deep dive on business performance, financials, rates, and year-over-year market changes
- Technology: explores current trends and solutions, like AI, tech stacks, automation, efficiencies, ROI, and compliance
- People Operations: everything you need to know about hiring, training, and retaining talent, including compensation, benefits, and DEI efforts
Barometers are free and available for members in the Resource Center.
