Employee Outlook



 

 
 

Survey findings

"About a third of employees (34%) report their organisation has made redundancies as a result of the economic downturn, down from 37% last quarter."

 
 
 
 
 
 

This quarter’s Employee Outlook finds that UK’s middle managers are feeling the squeeze as organisations face increasing pressure to cut costs, while boosting innovation, service quality and productivity.

The survey also includes a new index of employee engagement which shows that just 36% of respondents are actively engaged at work, with engagement levels particularly low in the public sector. We will be tracking the engagement index to help understand what employers can do to bolster employee engagement against a tough economic backdrop.
