Employees also reported less clarity about what is expected of them at work and were less likely to feel that someone at work cares about them as a person.
This sounds like a healthy relationship with work to me! They don't care about you as a person. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional and probably needs an intervention.
Do I care about my coworkers as people? Absolutely. Do I have any impact on their work or pay? No. So what I think is irrelevant.
If companies want to change this statistic, upper management—all the way to the top—needs to demonstrate that they care about their employees as people. If they're making 100x more than the average and they're handing over nearly all profits to shareholders via dividends, then clearly they do not.
