THE COLLABORATIVE WORKFORCE
INITIATIVE
Making the Workplace Work
Do the math.
65% of performance problems in the workplace result from strained relationships…
And if 42% of supervisory time is spent on these relationship issues…
Then, a supervisor making $50,000 a year is using $21,000 of that salary just to deal with employee disruptions.Now you apply the math to multiple supervisors and group leaders!
Time & money is spent, and still...
On January 1, 2007, The Associated Press published data from surveys of more than 700 people conducted by the Florida State University.*
-39 percent of workers said their supervisor failed to keep promises.
-37 percent said their supervisor failed to give credit when due.
-31 percent said their supervisor gave them the "silent treatment" in the past year.
-27 percent said their supervisor made negative comments about them to other employees or managers.
-24 percent said their supervisor invaded their privacy.
-23 percent said their supervisor blamed others to cover up mistakes or to minimize embarrassment.
* Full findings scheduled to publish in the Fall 2007 issue of The Leadership Quarterly
Money isn't everything.
More and more studies are finding that company culture and a good working environment are more important than pay!
Invest wisely.
