Yesterday, we posted a survey that reported half of all employees would tell friends and family not to come work from their employer.
=========
I got curious and dug a little deeper …
=========
The American Psychological Association does an annual survey on Work & Well-being.
Here are some highlight snippets from their latest survey ….
=========
According to the APA survey, about 2/3’s of employees are satisfied with their jobs.
===========
And, about 2/3’s of employees say that they are motivated to do their job.
==========
Further, 2/3’s of employees think that their employer’s treat them fairly.
==========
But, the numbers fall slightly when it comes to work-life balance.
Less than 60% are satisfied with their work-life balance.
OK, we’re getting closer to the 50% who say “Don’t come here to work.”
So, let’s keep going.
=========
Only about half say that their company makes them feel valued.
==========
And, less than half think that their employer provides them with opportunities for growth & development, i.e. they don’t see a way to get ahead and move up.
==========
Only about half say that they and their employers share common values
==========
About half say that their employer is open and upfront with them ….
==========
And, less than 1/4 trust their employer.
Using converse logic, that means that about 75% do trust their employer.
===========
Summing up, according to the APA survey …
Motivation and job satisfaction are high … and most employees trust their employer, even if they don’t always share common values.
But, employees want more work-life balance and opportunities for growth & development.
That’s not new news, right?
There’s always an opportunity to improve employee engagement.
But, it doesn’t look to me like things are going to hell in a hand basket, does it?
