A new report highlights that leaders do not have “a firm grasp” of their employees’ well-being.
Many employees are still struggling with low levels of well-being — with most of them saying that their health worsened or stayed the same last year, according to a survey of 3,150 people conducted in March by Deloitte and Workplace Intelligence.
However, the C-suite indicated a much different perspective: More than three out of four executives inaccurately believe that their workforce’s well-being improved.
Your bosses bosses thinks playing golf and eating fancy dinners on the company’s dime (your exploited surplus labor value) improves your life while you struggle to make ends meet.
How the hell would the executives even know? It’s not like they get down in the trenches to get to know how the employees are doing.
They don’t. I used to work with C-suite execs and they are completely disconnected from the lives of workers. When someone asks them about “employee well being”, they are think of the high-level employees that report to them 1 or 2 levels down - the senior vice presidents, directors, etc.
