Supervisors Speak No Evil...Why?

Disclaimer: University of Phoenix is a client. I have not been asked to blog about this (my own choice).

Paranoia abounds in the American workplace.  Cutbacks, layoffs.  Even if your company is in great shape, you are probably still anticipating some kind of bad news.

The University of Phoenix has a research center and just awarded a grant to study how supervisors are communicating with employees during this financial crisis.  I'm anxious to see the results of this six-month project.  If top management loves research, and the research finds they need to communicate better....perhaps they will listen to us :)  When I get results...I'll pass them along!
