A survey conducted by the textile rental company Lindstrom, in collaboration with the research firm Norstat Latvia, found that a significant majority of Latvian employees feel disconnected from decisions that affect their work and the development of their companies. While 64% of the respondents acknowledged that employers adequately explain the decisions made, only 45% feel actively involved in the decision-making process.

The survey highlights a notable gap between being informed and being involved, as many employees feel they are kept in the loop regarding decisions, yet only 14% believe they are part of the decision-making process that impacts their work or the organization's development. Approximately 32% of respondents expressed dissatisfaction, stating that management decisions are inadequately explained, which raises concerns about employee engagement and morale in the workplace.

Overall, the results suggest that despite feeling informed about decisions, there is a substantial disconnect in actual involvement among employees, indicating a need for companies to reassess their strategies to foster a more participatory culture. Enhancing employee involvement could potentially lead to improved job satisfaction and organizational effectiveness in Latvia.
