Did you know that 85% of employees feel some economic anxiety in the workplace.  29% experience severe or high anxiety.  This according to an ongoing survey conducted by Elliott Masie’s Learning Trends.  

The question asked of 1441 learning professionals in corporations was, “What is the level of economic anxiety in your workplace?”.  Only 15% responded low or no anxiety.  

The next questions was, “What, if any, actions has your organization’s leadership taken to respond to the economic anxiety in the workplace?”. The results: 

• 21% held briefings about the organizations\’s economic health 

• 13% held briefings about the economic crisis 
• 13% said the manager had conversations with employees about economic anxiety 
• 7% had workshops dealing with 401K management 
• 46% had had no actions as of that day 

So here are my questions: 

• What is the level of your employees’ anxiety? 
• What is the level of your own anxiety? 
• What has your organization done? 
• What could you do with your own employees? 
• What do you notice in terms of loss of productivity…yours and your staffs’.
