The UK's top performers are reaching breaking point, new research reveals

New data from CoreHR reveals that 41% of the UK’s top talent are close to a burn-out.

The Smart Talent Expects study examined the behaviours and attitudes of 1000 UK employees who stand out to employers because of their high-drive and ambition for the job.

Dean Forbes, CEO of CoreHR, tells HR Grapevine: “People thrive when they’re challenged, but shouldn’t be pushed to breaking-point. Employers should always be mindful of setting clear goals as well as boundaries. Providing strong support networks for employees is especially important.

He added: “Job satisfaction and well-being go hand-in-hand with better performance, creativity and how well colleagues cooperate.
