1 in 4 UK employees are planning to leave their jobs this year. And the top reasons? Feeling underpaid and unrecognised.
What strikes us about this research from Ciphr isn't just the numbers - it's what sits behind them. When people feel unseen at work, it doesn't just affect retention. It affects how they show up every single day. Their energy, their motivation, their mental health.
From a wellbeing perspective, recognition is a basic human need. We all want to feel like our contribution matters. And when that's missing, even a decent salary can only go so far.
The positive news is that alot of this is fixable. Maybe not overnight, but with intent. Regular check-ins, honest conversations about pay, and building a culture where people are genuinely acknowledged, these things make a real difference.
This article is worth a read if you're ready to think about what your people actually need right now. 👇
