Excerpts:

According to the latest Employment Study from Badenoch & Clark, British managers are struggling to win the trust of their people – one in six of the UK professional workforce don’t believe a word their employer says.

As British companies continue to struggle under the cloud of the recession, it seems the workforce is becoming increasingly sceptical of the news coming out of the boardroom.

Only 15% of the 1,005 workers that took part in the study were willing to admit that they totally trusted their manager, leaving a startling 85% of us wary of at least some of the information we receive from higher up the organisation.

“The erosion of that trust will result in a disengaged workforce, and one that harbours little loyalty to the organisation. There will be very little willingness to go the extra mile during the working day. Once the economy picks up and job opportunities start becoming more widespread, the employers with the lowest levels of trust could also see many of their most valued people leave.
