The survey revealed that the main reason workers felt so unhappy in their current roles was that they felt undervalued. Other reasons included not being in the role they want, working at a company with a poor culture, being underpaid and being bored at work.

“As we approach the end of the year, many workers begin to consider whether it’s time for a career change, perhaps even making work-based resolutions for the year ahead. While this can be beneficial for businesses, for example if an employee’s career goals are to exceed their targets or to gain a promotion in their current workplace, it can also have a negative impact if your employees are planning on finding a new job, elsewhere, ” said Lee Biggins, founder and managing director of CV-Library.

“Its clear job satisfaction is important to today’s professionals and employers need to ensure they’re doing all they can to meet the needs of their employees. Creating a great company culture is key, but you must also consider ways to keep your workforce engaged and show how much you value them.

“These don’t have to be at a huge expense to your business, but it’s vital that you take this into consideration if you hope to retain talented workers in the New Year.”
