SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Go1, an e-learning solution for on-demand training and resources, released its Workplace Behavior Study that reveals how prevalent passive aggressive behavior is within the workplace and its effect on company culture. Go1 partnered with survey company OnePoll to determine how US employees are experiencing passive aggression, the reasoning behind it, and potential solutions to combat this workplace phenomenon.
“Since the start of the pandemic, the American workforce has seen countless trends take over the workplace from ‘The Great Resignation’ to the most recent ‘Quiet Quitting’,” said Ashleigh Loughnan, Chief People Officer at Go1. “We’ve also found that since the pandemic, passive aggression in the workplace is worse than ever before, which can lead to a host of issues. This report is finding that apart from affecting company culture, passive aggression is impeding productivity, and in order to align the workforce, business leaders need to invest in soft skills training to ensure their companies are working in a cohesive manner.”
The results indicate a larger issue occurring within the American workforce, where passive-aggressive behavior is becoming more commonplace. If left untreated, it can result in cyclical behavior that contributes to further harm of a company’s culture and workforce. The data provided within this study can serve as an opportunity for employers and employees alike to look within and break the cycle.
Over 2,000 employed Americans who have witnessed passive-aggressive behaviors participated in the survey, with the data revealing the following key takeaways:
Workplace Passive Aggression Higher than Pre-Covid Era
Sarcasm Among the Most Observed Passive Aggressive Behaviors
There Is A Direct Correlation Between Heightened Stress Levels And “Quiet Quitting”
Workplace Passive Aggression is Contributing to Decreased Productivity
Employees Are Intentionally Passive Aggressive
Soft Skills Training is the Key to Mitigate Workplace Passive Aggression
“Feeling stressed and lacking in communication or problem solving skills can all lead to passive aggressive behaviors and as this research shows – reduces productivity and damages workplace culture.” said Loughnan. “Overcoming these behaviors at work starts with proper education and training. If people are better equipped with soft skills, such as communication or stress management, it can help solve the problem before it begins. We’re calling on companies to provide an open line of communication between their HR specialists and employees. They can implement and share resources to reduce passive aggressive behavior and in turn, create healthier work environments.”
