PHWP: Abstract Detail: Costly legacy of the recession: Employers risk mass exodus of neglected staff

Focuses on the results of a recent survey conducted in the UK by Simplyhealth. According to the survey and subsequent report, 45% of workers reported that they will start looking for a new job once the economy recovers. In addition, 52% of employers indicated that they had been too focused on the recession to worry about employee well-being. Interestingly, 75% indicated that they did not expect workers to be looking for employment elsewhere. Hence, the survey results suggest that there may be a disparity between how employers feel they have responded to the recession and how employees feel those employers have responded. This may result in increased turnover once the economy recovers.
