My friend Asher Adelman of eBossWatch and the Workplace Democracy Association pointed me to this media release from Zogby International. The noted survey was a joint effort between the Workplace Democracy Association and Zogby.
The full survey results have yet to be released, but as soon as they are I will post accordingly.
The highlights found in the release are sobering. In many ways it provides insight into why I’m doing this thing called Epic Living.
Your thoughts?
Hi Denise,
Thanks for the comments. It doesn’t surprise me that the UK has issues to tackle as well.
The opportunity that organizations have is to tackle the issues head on-now. It won’t change overnight, but at least the journey will have begun.
Sadly, organizations that have fostered the types of environments listed in the survey will have a very difficult time of it.
A sobering thought. Am I really surprised? I guess the answer would be no. I also don’t think the situation is much different here in the uk.
Latest data suggests that. 70% of employees leave their position because of their relationship ( or lack of it with their line manager) and over 50% have no trust in their senior manager group.
With cultural capital now being the only real true differentiator this situation isn’t sustainable.
You do wonder if the supposed economic downturn has anything to do with the value and meaning people have in the workplace?
Thanks for the information Eric
Best Wishes
Denise
