Employees Doubt The Credibility Of Corporate Communications
This won’t come as a surprise to many…
Towers Perrin recently surveyed 1,000 US workers to measure the extent to which they believe the information their employer communicates to them, and among other things, found that:
* 51 percent of the respondents believe their company generally tells employees the truth, while almost a fifth (19 percent) disagree.
* 51 percent believe their companies try too hard to “spin” the truth.
* Employees believe their companies communicate more honestly with shareholders (60 percent) and customers (58 percent) than with workers.
* Information emanating from senior leadership is the least reliable, with almost half (48 percent) agreeing that they receive more credible information from their direct supervisor than from their company’s CEO.
* Employees are more likely to believe information about their pay (64 percent) and benefits (59 percent) than they are to believe information about company direction and business strategies - information most often communicated from the executive suite.
Sigh. (For more detail, “>%20press%20release…
