We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but it appears levels of employee satisfaction and engagement in British workplaces are at worryingly low levels.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For example, research by Gallup<\/a> this year discovered the UK\u2019s workforce is one of the least engaged on the planet, with a mere 10% of workers feeling engaged by their employer and job. Worryingly, only eight territories covered in the research \u2013 including Iran (9%), France (7%) and Hong Kong (6%) \u2013 have a lower percentage of engaged workers.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve also conducted our own research into levels of employee satisfaction in the workplace<\/a>, and the results make for worrying reading. Our report discovered that 48% of British and Irish employees are dissatisfied with their jobs, and nearly half are actively looking to leave their roles. In addition, poor morale is affecting two-fifths of workers, whilst nearly a quarter believe their senior leader\u2019s lack of communications is harming their workplace satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Clearly, companies and their HR teams are facing difficulties when it comes to building engaging and satisfying workplaces. So, what can be done?<\/p>\n

    How to Make Work-Life Balance Work<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A positive work-life balance sits at the core of employee satisfaction. This statement can be backed-up by our research which found that, aside from annual salary, a positive work-life balance was the main reason employees felt satisfied in their roles.<\/p>\n

    It makes sense then, that HR look at how their workplaces can support a healthy work-life balance as part of a positive company culture. In this TED Talk, Strategic Consultant and best-selling author Nigel Marsh<\/a> discusses the importance of work-life balance, and provides practical insights on how both individuals and employers can create a more satisfying work environment. Nigel also describes an ideal day perfectly balanced between family time, personal time and productivity, and offers his own inspiration to make it happen. Well worth a watch!<\/p>\n
