Main Source of Worker Dissatisfaction? Poor Communication
PersonnelToday.com reported on new research that shows more than one in four people (29%) would swap their manager if they could (source: Investors in People).
Some 1,700 employees polled across the UK spoke loudly and clearly as to the source of their dissatisfaction: poor communication by managers. The ability to communicate effectively was listed as THE most important quality for a successful manager, but 32% of the respondents said their manager didn’t make the grade.
Honesty was ranked a close second as a managerial virtue, yet 1 out of 5 respondents felt that their manager, at some stage, had actually claimed credit for the employee’s work!
How do these findings square with your work experience? Have your managers always been good communicators? How or when has a manager taken the credit for your great idea or project? Click on "Comment" below and share your experiences (please omit the manager’s name to protect the guilty).
