Worker distrust of employer is pervasive - Nashoba Publishing Online
Worker distrust of employer is pervasive - Nashoba Publishing Online: Despite the rebound in the U.S. economy and an improving job market, nearly one in four workers say they don't trust their employer and only about half believe their employer is open and upfront with them, according to the American Psychological Association's 2014 Work and Well-Being Survey released today.
While almost two-thirds (64 percent) of employed adults feel their organization treats them fairly, one in three reported that their employer is not always honest and truthful with them. "This lack of trust should serve as a wake-up call for employers," says David W. Ballard, PsyD, MBA, head of APA's Center for Organizational Excellence. "Trust plays an important role in the workplace and affects employees' well-being and job performance."
