Imposter Syndrome in the Workplace
Read the full page to learn more about imposter syndrome and how the Member Forum is addressing this issue
Employees who feel imposter syndrome don't tell their managers: "Despite its prevalence, a huge 94% of those who have suffered from imposter syndrome haven’t discussed their feelings at work. Of those that are uncomfortable telling their manager their feelings of ‘frequent’ self-doubt, nearly two thirds (61%) fear they could be seen as a less capable employee. Source: onrec
The issue is particularly pronounced among women, with nearly twice as many women (21%) frequently suffering from imposter syndrome compared to men (12%). Millennials (25 to 39-year-olds) are also significantly affected, with 27% feeling like frauds in the workplace, while only 3% of workers aged 65 and above experience regular self-doubt.
