When it comes to their jobs, new research reveals many professionals would like more information about how their efforts contribute to the company’s bottom line. While nearly half of workers in the Robert Half Management Resources survey reported they are always able to see the connection between their duties and their firm’s performance, the majority, 53%, also said they want greater insights. Fourteen percent of those polled noted they rarely or never see how their work affects the organization.
The findings uncovered different sentiments among age groups. Fifty-nine percent of professionals 55 years of age and older consistently see how their work contributes to the company’s bottom line, but just 38% of those 35 to 54 years old agreed. Forty-four percent of respondents ages 18 to 34 said they are able to make the association between their efforts and organizational performance; this group also is the most likely to seek a greater understanding.
