This is not a new topic, but as I circulate in different business group settings and talk with individuals, it is clear that employees are tired of being patient. They have given and given and done a lot for their employers over the past 2 or more years. The media and even the President has told employers/businesses that it is time for them to spend money to help our economy.
It is stated in the media that many employers now have some fair amount of funds in their bank accounts, and yet employers are skiddish about spending. Meanwhile costs of groceries and gas, etc. escalate.
To add to the employees' frustration, many have expressed that employers haven't even provided any or much training for 2+ years. In order for the employees to do the best at their jobs, many need training. In addition, as the Baby Boomers prepare to retire, no one is being offered "leadership training" to prepare the less experienced employees to step into supervisory or management shoes.
How long will it be until employers take action to strengthen their workforces for the future?
