In the current candidate-driven market, some of the hardest and most financially-taxing employees to replace are managers and CEOs.
Yet, whilst employee wellbeing is on the rise in the UK workplace according to the ONS, Novoexec research has discovered that the majority of managers are unhappy in their positions, with 70% stating that they intend to change companies in the near future.
Staff happiness | Is wellbeing at work just a 'fad'?
The research, which polled a collection of 1,000 members of the general public and compared the results to a demographic of 100 UK-based executives, discovered that the number of managers who intend to quit, compared to general workers, is extremely disproportionate.
And what, according to Novoexec’s research, were the key contributing factors to this drastic disparity? Whilst 86% of the general workforce stated that the implications of Brexit weren’t affecting their wellbeing, 77% of executives concluded that the current political and economic uncertainty had affected their desire to consider (or not) a new role. Additionally, over 84% of UK execs stated that they had considered a new role abroad due to political and economic uncertainty.
