Maybe managers don’t matter after all (INFOGRAPHIC)
A new study has found that employee happiness depends less on managers than on their co-workers.
It’s been said a million times before: Employees don’t leave companies — they leave managers.
But a new study says that employee happiness may be more dependent on closeness to co-workers than with direct supervisors.
That’s according to new extensive research from TINYPulse.
Some other findings from the survey:
- Only 42% of employees know their organization’s vision, mission and values
- More than 82% of respondents claimed that their supervisor clearly outlined their role and responsibility
- Team play and collaboration are the top traits staffers love about their colleagues, and
- Management transparency is the top factor when determining employee happiness.
TINYPulse analysed over 40,000 anonymous responses from 300 companies from 2012 to 2013.
The company has put some of the more interesting findings in an infographic, which you can view below:
