Fifty-seven percent of U.S. job seekers say employees at their company are clueless about when and where it’s appropriate to be honest in the workplace. This lack of understanding about workplace decorum — including honesty dos and don’ts — is echoed by nearly half of U.S. hiring decision-makers (47%), who say employees at their company struggle with knowing when to speak up.
This is according to a recent Express Employment Professionals-Harris Poll survey.

Nearly 3 in 4 employed U.S. job seekers (72%) believe their company fosters a safe and trusting environment that encourages honest communication, but a generational divide is evident: Gen Z and millennials are at the forefront, showing significantly more confidence in workplace communication than their Gen X counterparts (76% and 77% vs. 62%, respectively).
