What is The Marlin Edge™? We do the research so you don’t have to

• We identify the issues
  Through national polling and ongoing customer research, we keep our finger on the pulse of the workplace. In 1995 we launched The Marlin Company’s "Attitudes in American Workplace" an annual poll of workplace attitudes conducted by Harris Interactive to help us identify the issues that affect the workplace and workforce.
  
  In addition to our national polling, we routinely survey thousands of customers to determine their current issues which helps us understand, by specific industry, what key issues, goals and initiatives our subscribers need to communicate.
  
• We research and explore the issues to determine today’s best thinking
  We then research and explore the issues to gain a clear understanding of how they are affecting the workplace. Our editorial staff works with industry experts and universities from across the country, including the American Heart Association, American Institute of Stress, OSHA, Yale and Stanford to do more than identify key issues, but truly understand how they affect the workplace.
  
• We develop fresh, relevant content with engaging and compelling graphics
