Only about 33% of employees say they trust their senior managers 

This is one of the key findings from our latest Employee Outlook survey report. Read the free report to find out more about employees' attitudes towards management, workloads and the recession.

Last week's poll revealed that the majority of you who voted are concerned that you'll lose good staff in 2010. View our factsheet on succession planning.

David Benson, head of talent and resourcing at Oxfam GB, has called on the UK commercial sector to get behind the Haiti earthquake relief effort. He said HR professionals could help 'galvanise the emotional response' within organisations. In this week's poll we're asking you how your organisation responds to natural disasters.

Don't forget - our special offer is still open for non-members wishing to join the CIPD. Join today and we'll send you a £20 Marks & Spencer voucher!
