Statistics that Scream “FAKE WORK”

Over the years, we have done a lot of research and checked it against other research and the numbers don’t always look the same, but the look very similar. No matter how you look at them, they help explain why fake work runs rampant in many organizations and is a part of almost every work environment.

Simply, consider how workers feel. This is a small sample of our research results:

• 87 percent of workers are not satisfied with the results of their work.
• 56 percent of workers don’t clearly understand their company’s most important goals.
• 81 percent of workers do not feel a strong level of commitment to their company’s top priorities.
• 73 percent of workers don’t think their company’s goals are translated into specific work they can execute.
• 70 percent of workers don’t routinely plan how to support agreed-upon goals and tasks in their workgroups.

These are dominating fake work statistics. They tell you how and why fake work is infiltrating every work environment—even the best of them.
