Workers call for more training to help them lose fear of being 'found out'

67% of staff consistently feel ‘out of their depth’ at work, new research from the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) has found.

Two in five respondents also confessed to using buzz words with absolutely no idea what they actually mean.

The study went on to reveal that 75% of employees feel they had a stroke of luck in securing their current role, given the competitiveness of the market. It also highlighted the fact that many felt undervalued within their role, lacking motivation to move up the career ladder. Factors that played a part in these feelings included the job being boring (42%) and a dearth of potential pay rises (35%).

These findings show a failing on the part of HR to install confidence in staff, be it via training or engagement.
