Almost One-Third of HR Managers See Workforce Morale as Biggest Challenge
CHICAGO, July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Some 31 percent of HR managers say morale and employee productivity is their biggest concern over the next six months, according to a survey released today by ComPsych Corporation. ComPsych is the world's largest provider of employee assistance programs and worldwide leader in GuidanceResources (EAP, behavioral health, wellness, work-life and crisis intervention services).
"The morale and productivity issue has far surpassed concerns over health care legislation and organizational change," said Dr. Richard A. Chaifetz, Chairman and CEO of ComPsych. "Many managers are attuned to workplace discontent, which is becoming more widespread as organizations continue to operate with lean staffs.
