Rethinking what we need from work: Inside Employees' Minds 2022-2023
A guide to employees’ most pressing needs and how your organization can meet them, based on 美世’s 2022-2023 Inside Employees’ Minds Ⓒ 研究.
After two years of continual existential crises — the pandemic, 欧洲的战争, 通货膨胀, and political and social upheaval — employees are more focused on securing their financial, 物理, and emotional health and well-being than by achievement and climbing the ladder.
This is a significant change from when we conducted this survey in 2021. During the height of the pandemic, organizations provided deep support to their employees in four critical ways:
- 他们沟通
- They focused on health and safety needs
- They allowed greater flexibility
- They led with empathy
This support led to increased engagement and commitment from employees during the onset of the pandemic. 但现在, cumulative stressors and fears are causing many employees to feel less supported than last year.
The labor shortage and the ‘great resignation’ are taking their toll, particularly on frontline employees. While 3 out of 4 employees say they can maintain balance between their personal and work life, work life balance remains a top 3 concern, and half of employees say they feel exhausted on a typical day.
This year’s Inside Employees’ Minds 研究 shows significant declines in employee satisfaction across the board, most noticeably in compensation, 好处, 职业目标. Employee commitment to the company saw an eight-point drop since last year.
