More than half of American workers say they are stressed because their employers do not give them the information they need to do their jobs. This information comes from a company called Dynamic Signal. It sells communications systems that enable businesses to send messages to workers’ mobile devices. The Dynamic Signal study involved 1,001 people who work in the United States. They answered a series of questions online at the beginning of 2019. The study found that 80 percent of the workers reported feeling stressed, or under pressure, because of poor communication by their employers. The same study showed that more than 60 percent of those asked said they are ready to leave their companies. And, it said the most unsatisfied workers are those who cannot look at work email regularly.
