We’re now in the “This is Fine'' phase of employee/management interactions. Workers say their well-being is getting worse every year. Of course, bosses are completely clueless… What’s the big disconnect and why are so many employees unhappy?
Here’s Five Fast Facts About Employee Well-being:
- 😥 Opposite Day - A recent survey shows most employees feel their well-being has stayed at the same low level or worsened. On the other hand, 80% of company leaders believe things are getting better. Only 32% of surveyed employees said things are great and getting better. Brown-nosers.
- 😞 Bad Vibes - The reasons for the drop should come as no surprise since, more than ever, employees are claiming to be tired, stressed, overwhelmed, and depressed.
- 😺 Care-less - One of the most entertaining stats shows that 56% of employees think the executives don’t care about their well-being. Ninety-one percent of executives believe the employees feel their leaders care about them. Bruhhhh…. seriously?
- 🏃 Outta Here - There is one surprising revelation in the survey: 60% of employees, 64% of managers, and 75% of executives said they’ve given serious thought about quitting for a job that better helps their well-being.
- 📋 Course Correction - So, what can executives do to fix things? Employees gave some pretty simple answers: check in with the employees, give them time to recharge, and implement better accountability in the organization to fix problems.
🔥Bottom line: To be fair, some of this may be a case of confirmation bias. After all, if executives gave low scores for their employees’ well-being, that’d be straight up admitting they’re doing something wrong. The main issue here is that executives are completely out of touch with their employees and have learned nothing at all from the pandemic. If they want their business to be successful in the long run, they need to change things up and do it fast.
