The five-question quiz asks employees to rate on a scale from 1-4 how well their boss informs them, carries out change, explains goals, allows them to have a voice and recognizes achievement. After answering the questions, the individual's boss is "graded" on a scale of 1-20 and given a percentage score.
If employees find out they have a "bad boss" they should consider the following:
- Working for a bad boss could increase your chance of a heart attack by 50 percent
