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.
