Quiznos Invites Managers and Employees to Understand Each Other Over a Sub Sandwich

Quiznos, a franchisor headquartered in Denver specializing in franchising toasted sub shops, has had to let go of a number of officers and staff of late. Quiznos survey reveals that HR managers may be more worried how employees feel than the actual workforce.

A new survey* conducted with human resource professionals reveals a significant gap between them and employees when it comes to perceived morale in the workplace. The recent study, conducted by Quiznos and LinkedIn, found that 63 percent of HR professionals believe their workforce feels insecure during the current recession. In a similar survey conducted earlier this month**, employees indicated they felt differently, with only 34 percent stating they feel insecure. In response to these findings, Quiznos has proclaimed Friday, August 28th "HR Appreciation Day" to help close this communication gap between the two parties and "take the heat off" of HR during these stressful times. – Examiner.com

Whatever the result, Quiznos thinks this is an excellent excuse go have a toasted sub with employees to better understand them. Of course, the irony of Quizno's giving advice on how to get along with others in the workplace, and in particular about making everyone feel appreciated and valued.
