Our latest study asked workers what they thought could improve their relationship with their boss. There was a clear majority of people who felt that creating rewards or incentive schemes would help.
We also gave the options; socialising outside of work, discussing/airing problems/issues and regular meetings as alternatives to what we felt may improve an employees relationship with their boss.
The results were as follows:
Socialising outside of work - 5%
Discussing/airing problems/issues - 10%
Regular meetings - 16%
Creating reward/incentive schemes - 69%
Here at TipTopJob, we thought that through socialising with your boss that it could improve the relationship but the results tell us that not many agreed :)
Amazingly, creating reward/incentive schemes was the most popular! Maybe employees felt that if they were rewarded and incentivised they would have more communication, feedback, guidance, respect and therefore feel closer to their boss which would then build a good relationship with them.
We would love to hear what you think about these results. Tell us here....
