06 Nov 09 American Workplace is Scarier than We Thought

In a national survey conducted by CareerBuilder, it was found that 1 in every 5 US employee (18%) has a scary work place. The sample size of the survey was 4000. 18 percent workers said that the workload they are having is enough to scare them. This data indeed is frightening, and the decision makers need to take this result seriously, and make some key changes in the work distribution, so that they do not end up being exhausted, which will mean lack in productivity.

Other things that scare the US workers are as follow:

  • 9% of the total respondent said that performance reviews fright them.
  • 9% of the total respondent said that tight deadlines fright them.
  • 8% of the total respondent said that long work hours fright them.
  • 7% of the total respondent said that their bosses are the most dreadful thing.
  • 69% of the total respondent said that sitting through the meeting is very scary.

The survey was conducted by Harris Interactive. The sample consisted of 4,285 US full-time workers. All the respondent were at least 8 years old and none of them were self-employed or employed by the government. The survey was conducted online between August 20 and September 9, 2009.

This result essentially shows how corporate worker feels in his job, and how high is their dissatisfaction level. The HR department should take notice of this, and should make amendments before it is too late.
