In these times of economic uncertainty, it’s nice to trust that your employer will be able to lead you through the really tough challenges facing so many companies today.
Too bad most employees don't have that trust.
A new poll of nearly 2,000 employees finds that only 10 percent of employees trust management to make the right decision in times of uncertainty.
Just 14 percent of the employees polled by Maritz Research believe their company’s leaders are ethical and honest. About the same percentage believe their employer genuinely listens to and cares about its employees.
At many companies, it appears things are actually getting worse. The poll by Maritz, a marketing research firm, finds that 25 percent of employees have less trust in management than they did last year.
The poll of 1,857 employees who work more than 30 hours a week was conducted in March and has a sampling error of 3 percent.
