A new report reveals new information about how employees feel about culture and what matters most to them:
- 45% of employees say they regularly interact at work with fewer people than they did a year ago.
- 33% report that they feel disconnected from their leaders.
- Organizations increase the likelihood of improving the employee experience significantly when they meet their needs for autonomy, connection, and mastery.
- Employees identify several areas as key to the success of the hybrid work experience: career development program (68%), work schedule flexibility (65%), clear availability expectations when working remotely (65%), and opportunities for in-person social connections with coworkers (58%).
Employers need to rethink their attitudes about policies about workforce culture and engagement, say the study’s authors. They note, “The former concept of workplace ‘normalcy’ left the building in March 2020, and it’s not coming back.”
