The CIPD have produced the second in a new series of quarterly surveys of employee attitudes, exposing attitudes how the world of work is changing. The survey is based on a sample size of 3500 people in the UK. 

The report focuses on job security and seeking employment during the recession. 64% of respondents indicated that they thought it would be difficult to find a job during the recession if they were made redundant. 

The report also covers: 

• Employee attitudes towards management
• Job satisfaction
• Pressure control and workload
• Work-life balance and flexible working
• The impact of the recession on both employees and employers

Clive Lewis, founder and MD of Globis commented ” Now is one of the best times for employers to think about how to build better relationships in the workplace. In many cases, the psychological contract has been broken and it has been replaced with a lack of trust. Employees could also think about how they can go the extra mile for their employers. The recession could prove to be a win-win for both employer and employee”.
