Attitudes aren't all that great inside corporate America - not surprising, perhaps, given the bad economy and boardroom scandals. Still, it's hard to succeed in safety when trust levels are low, communication poor and employees shut out of decision-making, which is the case in most companies these days, according to a poll conducted earlier this year, Watson Wyatt's WorkUSA(tm) 2002.
Only about one in three employees (39 percent) trust senior leadership at their company. Less than 20 percent have a say in decision-making.
