Trust Issues Among Employees

A significant trust issue exists between employees and their company leaders, particularly among Generation Z. Data indicates that only 52% of Gen Z employees express trust in their leaders, making them the most distrustful demographic in the workforce. This lack of trust is rooted in their upbringing, where they experienced hands-on coaching and guidance from their parents.
