Whats the prevailing mood in the typical UK
workplace?

Our research among employees shows.
  • Around half of British employees would speak
    highly of their organisation as an employer
  • Just two in five British employees agree they
    feel valued and recognised in their current roles
  • Less than half receive regular performance
    feedback from their line manager
  • Only a fifth feel involved in their
    organisation, but two in five would like greater
    involvement
  • Just a fifth feel they have a clear career path
    with their current organisation (but many more
    would like one)
