A recent poll asked employees how they feel about their workplaces. HR might not want to hear the answers.
One in four employees describe their workplaces as “dictatorships,” according to the survey by Zogby.
Workers’ biggest complaint: their managers micromanage.
Less than half (46%) said their bosses promote creative or inventive ideas. But nearly all would like more freedom: 80% said they’d be more motivated to work if they could decide on their own the best ways to get the job done.
Having managers step back and focus on results rather than methods could go a long way to lift morale.
