Confidence Abounds
2019 finished strong in terms of worker confidence.
By Larry Basinait
At the end of 2019, the Worker Confidence Index (WCI) increased by a robust 7.1 points compared to one year ago. This suggests that workers remain confident with their employment status compared to historical standards, despite a small decline of 2.5 points from the third quarter. For the year, three of the four indices—likelihood of a promotion, likelihood of a raise of at least 3 percent, and trust in company leadership—increased by at least 6 points. The only index to decline was the job security index, down slightly by 2.8 points.

By Shalini Duggal
At a basic level, employees quit when they lose faith in the possibility of having their needs met by their employer.
