A third of Brits think Brexit will harm their current job

A third of UK employees think Brexit will negatively impact their current employment, according to research from Personal Group.

The research, which surveyed more than 1,100 UK employees, found that 32% of UK employees believe Brexit will harm their current job – with only two per cent believing that leaving the EU will make their job better.

Mark Scanlon, Chief Executive Officer at Personal Group, said employers can help to reassure their staff. “The UK’s departure from the EU continues to cause uncertainty for many UK employees, with many not knowing what it means for them or their current role,” he said. “This fear can quickly lead to a loss of productivity and a reduction in workplace happiness.

“Employers will need to be more resourceful to keep their staff happy and engaged.”
