TalentLMS & WorkTango: Employees Struggling with Change
TalentLMS, a leading employee training platform, in partnership with employee experience platform WorkTango, released a joint study that suggests organizational change is hindered by workers’ heightened anxiety, declining trust in leadership, and a lack of support. The survey of 1,200 U.S. employees, who underwent significant workplace transitions in the past year, sheds light on the key roadblocks to well-led change and identifies paths to overcome them. Employees report heavier workloads, less work-life balance, and high stress and burnout — factors they also say lead to lower job satisfaction and a desire to find other jobs.
1 in 4 Millennial U.S. Workers Expect 30+ Years in Retirement
A new study from the TIAA Institute and the Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center (GFLEC), part of the Stanford Initiative for Financial Decision-making, finds that 26% of Gen Y (Millennial) U.S. workers expect to live 30 or more years in retirement, but will they work long enough to secure their golden years? The number of years workers expect to live in retirement are largely driven by their expected lifespans. Among Gen Y, which surpassed Baby Boomers as the nation’s largest living adult generation, 39% expect to live to age 90 or older (compared to 31% of Gen Z and 30% of Gen X). However, the study found that workers who expect to live longer don’t intend to work much longer. In general, expected retirement age increases by only one month with every one-year increase in expected lifespan.
