You might just want to take a seat, since I’m about to share a few facts that may shock you!
- Nearly 60% of employees are dissatisfied at work and plan to change jobs this year;
- 65% of them feel that they are not valued in their current role;
- Nearly 50% of employees would leave their current job for one where they are recognised for their efforts and contributions;
- 90% of employees rank trust, honesty and fairness as the most valued attributes at work; and
- Nearly 70% of employees believe businesses aren’t doing enough to create a sense of purpose.
