Employer fairness,caring and trust are concerns
According to a recent report, only 24 per cent of employees are “loyal” – committed to their organizations and planning on staying there for the next two years.
The 2001 National Employee Benchmark Study was conducted by Walker Information, an Indianapolis-based research firm specializing in measuring stakeholder relationships. It interviewed and surveyed 2,795 employees throughout the United States.
The report identifies these trends with regards to today’s workers:
•only 53 per cent are willing to recommend their firm to others looking for a job;
•only 54 per cent believe their organization treats employees fairly. The main concerns are the way policies are carried out (45 per cent positive) and the fairness of pay (50 per cent positive);
•only 44 per cent experience an atmosphere of genuine care and concern. Only 45 per cent believe that their organization cares about developing people for long-term careers, rather than just the current job;
•only 41 per cent believe their employers trust them.
According to the study, the three industries with the highest percentage of employees who want to remain with their current organization are the retail trade, financial services and government. Those with the lowest percentage are the technology, communication and transportation industries.
