Employee Confidence Remains Strong Despite Tough Economy

Despite one of the worst economic environments in American history, U.S. employees report surprisingly high levels of confidence in the overall direction of their companies and their management, according to a new employee confidence survey.

Conducted by APCO Worldwide in partnership with Gagen MacDonald, a strategy execution firm specializing in employee and organizational communication, the survey also uncovered unexpectedly high degrees of company loyalty despite uncertainty about how loyal their companies are to them. The survey was carried out among a cross-section of 500 U.S. full-time workers who have been employed for at least one year at companies with 100 or more employees.
