Most employees say their well-being has worsened or stayed the same — But their bosses disagree, new survey says

“This shows that executives are disconnected from the reality of the workforce,” said Dan Schawbel, the managing partner of Workplace Intelligence.

They're working REAL hard to bury the lede in the Deloitte survey that spun up this article.

They focus almost exclusively on "the poor state of employees’ mental and physical well-being," while leaving compensation as an afterthought.

Less than two-thirds of workers say their physical and mental well-being are “excellent” or “good” (63% and 58%, respectively), and an even lower percentage rate their social (45%) and financial (35%) well-being positively.

Heres a chart that tells the tale of how deliberately oblivious the C-Levels are.

Might just be me, but I've always found that fair pay tends to help boost all other categories..

Yup. If your lucky your salary has increased the last few years. 2% per year for me but yeah most things have essentially doubled in price.

I left a job I liked since I couldn't afford to stay. I feel like I lost all my market value. My new one pays much more so I'm happy but I just I'm a lucky one

im looking but being pretty picky. im not moving over for 10 or 20 percent.

It's better to be picky when you have a job. It's not always worth it to move

Riddle me this, Batman:

"He added that the new mandate to return to offices part-time could potentially reduce working hours and burnout, but companies still need "good management" and prioritize well-being regardless of work arrangements."

Every day I have to go into work is a 12 hour day.

Here’s what I didn’t understand until recently — management is ignoring employee feedback ON PURPOSE. Voluntary turnover is a lot cheaper than layoffs with severance packages, and has all the same advantages.

That they mentioned stats about employees using all their vacation time if mind blowing. Everyone should be using all of their vacation every year and that's a good thing. That can slow burn out. Pay would do more but vacations help

This is the current state of my job. Morale is very low and leadership is only just now attempting to figure out why since people have begun to leave. Feedback has been constantly shared and yet they have done nothing to address the issues. Namely communication issues from leadership to staff.
