3 Unexpected Things Your Employees are Thinking
The University of Phoenix surveyed more than 1,000 working adults may provide some insight into what those who work for you are thinking--but not saying out loud.
1. More than three quarters of employees believe they could improve their workplace.
This suggests they aren't getting the chance to try. And that's a loss for everyone. Make sure you're doing everything you can to get input and ideas from your employees. Try asking them directly, sending out an anonymous email survey.
2. They think you should offer more training.
Almost 40% of employees said things would be better if their companies provided more training and educational opportunities, narrowly beating out the other desires employees expressed. That's a little disturbing because employee education is one of the best investments you can make.
3. They think you should hire better people.
Expressed by 35 percent of respondents, ranked only slightly below their top choice. Put these top two results together, and they paint an unflattering picture: Employees seem to believe that neither their colleagues, nor they themselves, are as good as they should be at their jobs.
