Politics In The Workplace Survey

Introduction

This report is part of a series of research we do on a regular basis to assist, professionals, aspiring and seasoned, business leaders and employees make better decisions that uplift the performance of their organisations. Zimbabwe's 2018 general elections are around the corner and they have been a source of heated debates, locally and abroad. In the workplace, political discussions seem to be the order of the day. Approximately a month from the elections, our country may be polarised by politics as never before.

This survey sought to measure the prevalence of political discussions among employees in the workplace. It also sought to determine the extent to which political discussions have an impact on employees' overall productivity.
