Bad Bosses Are Destroying Employee Happiness: new data shows

Employees are the core of every business, and research after research show keeping them happy can be the difference between a failed or a successful startup.

Think about it, employees who are happy at their job are more productive, creative, and more likely to stay at the company long-term; all factors which can lead to a high-performing team.

Yet, today’s employees are not happy — they are unmotivated, unsatisfied, and feel unvalued at their workplace.

Reconciling with these employees should be a priority in today’s workplace.

The Harvard Business Review found that employees between 30 and 45 years old have had the greatest increase in resignation rates, with an average increase of more than 20% between 2020 and 2021.

Additionally, Statistics Canada says employment fell by 200,000 (-1.0%) in January of this year — part-time (-117,000; -3.3%) and full-time (-83,000; -0.5%). The number of people who were employed but worked less than half their usual hours rose by 620,000 (+66.1%) in January, the largest increase since March 2020.

A toxic workplace culture characterized by poor of work-life balance, xxx, and bad bosses has fueled this Great Resignation in North America.

To learn more about what makes employees unhappy, Real Estate Witch surveyed 1,000 full-time employees in the U.S. about their frustrations at work.

They found traditional incentives like high-pay and good benefits are important, but today’s employees work better when businesses respect their mental health and personal boundaries.

The reality is, without proper training or support managers can become bad bosses, and as Real Estate With says, this results in approximately 75% of employees feeling frustrated with their managers.
