Fremont: Less than half of the survey respondents say that their bosses have done a good job in preparing them for future success giving employers worldwide a mixed report card according to the latest survey results from global workforce solutions leader, Kelly Services. The Kelly Global Workforce Index is an annual survey revealing opinions about work and the workplace from a generational viewpoint.
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.
On being 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 eager to recommend their current employer to a friend or acquaintance.
Baby boomers (aged 48-65) strongly believe that their own generation is the superior business managers while both - Gen Y (aged 18-29) and Gen X (aged 30-47) agrees that Gen X make the best leaders. Nominated by 26 percent, the most important quality in a good boss is leadership - style 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.
