Finally there’s some positive news for UK employers and HR - a new survey from The Future Of Work found that 60% of UK employees love their job. Happy employees are more motivated and more creative at work - and the key to this newfound affection for their jobs is it seems, technology.
The report found the following:-
- People believe that technology makes their working day easier as well as improving work/life balance.
- Nearly three quarters of UK employees believe that access to technology that helps to improve communication with colleagues is as important a ‘perk’ as free food and drink at work.
- Employees who believe their employer is ‘ahead of the curve’ with technology are twice as motivated and creative – but only 15% of UK workers believe that their employer is in that position.
