New 'NO SHIT!' report: 'First HP Work Relationship Index Shows Majority of People Worldwide Have an Unhealthy Relationship with Work'.
New 'NO SHIT!' report: 'First HP Work Relationship Index Shows Majority of People Worldwide Have an Unhealthy Relationship with Work'. This report is comprehensive, with recent data from workers in 12 countries. Leaders, I highly recommend taking the time to digest it.
When we look at the Identifying the Drivers Behind a Healthy Relationship with Work, I strongly believe most can be addressed with an empathetic approach to leadership.
Top 3:
*Fulfillment: Employees yearn for purpose, empowerment, and genuine connection to their work, but just 29% of knowledge workers currently experience these aspects consistently.
*Leadership: New ways of working demand new leadership styles, according to 68% of business leaders; yet only one in five workers feel leaders have evolved their leadership styles accordingly. Cultivating emotional intelligence and transparent, empathetic leadership is crucial for today’s workplace.
*People-centricity: Only 25% of knowledge workers consistently receive the respect and value they feel they deserve, and even fewer are experiencing the flexibility, autonomy, and work-life balance they seek. (KJ: I'm willing to bet those from historically-excluded groups are not part of that 25%).
In a post-COVID world we need to truly rethink how we make our employees feel valued. A Starbucks giftcard isn't cutting it. Invest in empathy training for your leadership.
