Workers are a distrusting lot, and a study released this month by Towers Perrin has the numbers to prove it. Based on polling fielded last May, it says a bare majority of staffers (51 percent) believe their company “generally tells the truth in its communications to employees.” One bad sign: Employees with a company for at least five years are less apt to find it truthful than shorter-term staffers (48 percent vs. 59 percent). Forty-eight percent of the respondents said they get “more credible information from my supervisor than from my CEO,” while 28 percent disagreed.
