New study out today that reveals, yet again, our employers keep talking the talk, but are unwilling (afraid? bound by tradition? sadistic? still ruled at the top by folks who think all workers are 24/7 androids since they are too?), so it seems, to walk the walk.
Here's an outtake from the Ottawa Sun article:
"While it seems many Canadians would prefer their kitchen table to the boardroom table any day, many feel their employer doesn't care about work-life balance.
A study published yesterday by Desjardins Financial Security finds that while 25% of Canadians are assured their employer "walks the talk" when it comes to work-life balance, only 29% feel their employer truly cares about them having it in their lives.
Released in advance of the Canadian Mental Health Association's National Mental Health Week (May 7-13), the survey also suggests 65% feel their personal and employer values are not in sync -- despite the fact many companies are implementing programs to promote balance. "
So like, what gives, Mr. and Mrs. bossy-pants? Happy to torture your staff till they drop? Oh yeah, it must be that "globalization" thing that was supposed to bring us all the benefits of worldwide barrier-freeness. Maybe they should read about the "Results Only Work Environment." Or is holding your employees prisoner to face-time just too satisfying to let go of?
