Employers worldwide have received a mixed report card, with less
than half of all survey respondents saying that their bosses have
done a good job in preparing them for future success, according to
the latest survey results from global workforce solutions leader,
Kelly Services® (NASDAQ: KELYA) (NASDAQ: KELYB).
The findings are part of a new report, The Evolving Workforce:
Effective Employers, based on the findings of the Kelly Global
Workforce Index, which obtained the views of approximately 97,000
people in 30 countries.
Asked to rate their bosses, employees have delivered a passing
grade for their performance, with an average score of 6.4 out of
10. Only 37 percent of respondents say that their bosses have done
a good job in preparing them for future success. A total of 45
percent say they have not been well-prepared, and 17 percent are
uncertain.
Nearly half of all those surveyed would be willing to recommend
their current employer to a friend or acquaintance.
Results of the survey, globally, show:
- Both Gen Y (aged 18-29) and Gen X (aged 30-47) agree that Gen X
make the best leaders, but baby boomers (aged 48-65) strongly
believe that their own generation are the superior business
managers.
- The most important quality in a good boss is leadership style
nominated by 26 percent, slightly ahead of vision and clear
direction (24 percent), and communication style (19 percent).
- Almost half of respondents describe their organization's
leadership culture as either "empowering" or "inclusive." A total
of 31 percent describe it as "authoritative" or "oppressive."
- Slightly less than half (44 percent) say that their efforts at
work are recognized and rewarded.
- Among those respondents who say they feel rewarded and
recognized for their work, more than two thirds (67 percent) say
this takes the form of being "noticed by management," while 17
percent receive bonuses or incentives, and 12 percent are
acknowledged through formal programs.
