New research released by Willis Towers Watson in conjunction with Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights found that most employers (87%) plan to create a culture of workplace dignity over the next three years, recognizing that promoting “an environment in which employees can experience a sense of self-respect, pride and self-worth” fosters wellbeing, engages talent, and in the end, drives business results.
The survey, while promising, revealed a distinct disparity between employers’ and employees’ perceptions of workplace dignity: 81% of employers think workers are treated with respect and dignity regardless of their job, level or role, compared with 65% of workers who feel the same. Nearly four in five employers said they encourage employees to speak up, while half of workers agreed. What’s more, 80% of employers said they believe their senior leadership is sincerely interested in their workers' wellbeing. Half of workers agreed.
