Research from Norwalk-based Right Management found that nearly a third of employees nationally – and by extension in Connecticut – don’t adapt to changes in the work place, causing employers to court lowered productivity.
“These findings are consistent with what our clients are challenged with in Connecticut,” said Bill Brimmer, market vice president for Connecticut and Westchester counties at Right Management. “Addressing the challenges created by today’s tumultuous economy requires leaders to make a variety of difficult changes, from reductions in force to radical restructuring.”


The research found 31percent of employees are not able to adapt to changes at work, decreasing their effectiveness on the job and highlighting that engagement and productivity are at risk for many organizations.


Right Management, a talent and career management service, surveyed more than 100 senior human resource professionals across North America. The survey found them concerned about employee engagement and productivity as well as dwindling morale.
