Feelings of being undervalued rise to nearly half (48%) of employees among 16-24 year olds while those in banking and HR are the most disillusioned. Only 57% of employees in these sectors said they felt valued at work, while one in four banking professionals said they felt easily replaceable.
Neil Wilson, managing director of Badenoch & Clark, said: "The results from this study paint a gloomy picture of nervous employees, looking over their shoulders and feeling distinctly undervalued by their employers. At a time when companies need to be getting the most out of their people, this should make for alarming reading."
He added: "Making staff feel valued and invested in will go a long way to getting the most out of them. If someone feels their employer recognises and supports their contributions, they're much more likely to go the extra mile."
HR staff lead the way in feeling undervalued at work
More than one third (38%) of employees feel undervalued at work, while one in 10 is convinced their employer sees them as easily replaceable, according to the latest Badenoch & Clark Employment Study.
