Employee Feedback - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
In honor of National Boss Day (today), staffing agency, Adecco Group North America conducted a survey of workers across the country to discover what they really thought about their bosses. Here's what they found:
The Good
- 87% of workers think their bosse are just as accessible as they were pre-recession.
- 87% of workers think their bosses have the same focus on the performance review process as they did pre-recession. (That's a somewhat ambiguous statement, but I'm thinking of the glass as half full.)
- 65% of workers would not change anything about the relationships they have with their bosses.
- 39% of workers would take their bosses' jobs if offered, recognizing the challenges managers are facing in today's workplace.
The Bad
- 53% of workers don't think their bosses are honest.
- 25% of workers believe their bosses are dishonest about their job security.
- 14% of workers respect their bosses more since the recession began.
The Ugly
- 28% of workers would even lay off/fire their boss if given the option.
Adecco's survey also found that 89% of employees believe that job satisfaction is contingent upon a good boss-employee relationship.
The recession has caused stress for everyone, employers and entry level job seekers alike. Adecco's recent survey, in honor of National Boss Day, indicates that while there are some bad bosses, there are some good ones, too.
