Employee Disconnection and Clarity
A Gallup analysis reveals nearly half of employees feel unclear about work expectations, a decrease from 56% in January 2020, highlighting a growing disconnect since the pandemic.
New, younger, and remote workers, particularly in white-collar sectors, report the most confusion regarding their roles, exacerbated by shifts in work arrangements and layoffs.
Strategies for Clear Work Expectations
Establishing and agreeing on role expectations, deadlines, and performance markers from the outset can mitigate future misunderstandings.
Seeking regular feedback and clarification can help employees prioritize tasks and understand their responsibilities better, countering the ambiguity of post-pandemic work dynamics.
