How work negatively impacts our self-esteem & 7 tips to boost confidence

New research has found that over seven in 10 workers believe that their career has had a negative impact on their self-esteem.

The findings, collated by CV-Library, found that over half of UK workers feel that they place too much importance on their job – with inadequacy and mistakes also making the nation’s workers feel bad.

Lee Biggins, Founder and Managing Director of CV-Library, believes that the study shows the impact of the work on the nation’s mental health.

He said: “In a world where awareness around mental health and wellbeing is now more prevalent than ever, our latest findings shed some light on the true impact that work can have on employees’ self-esteem. As professionals, we always want to perform to the best of our abilities and there can often be incidents in the workplace that make us question our performance and goals.
