Britain’s workforce
is on the move in 2016
Nearly half of the UK workforce will be looking for a new job in
2016, with one in five workers already job hunting - and nearly
a third of employees saying they’re unhappy in their jobs.
Why? And what can we do about it?
Why are workers unhappy?
The main reasons UK workers are
unhappy in their jobs are poor
management and not feeling
valued - these issues both rank
more highly than pay.
