Small firms are the happiest

EMPLOYEES in small businesses are the most satisfied at work, new statistics have revealed.

A report on satisfaction levels in the UK workplace by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) has been backed by the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB). While the TUC highlighted the low morale amongst one in four of the UK’s workforce, the poll run by YouGov for the TUC also revealed the high levels of satisfaction amongst employees of small businesses.

The ‘What Workers Want’ survey of 2,500 employees included more than 600 who work in the UK’s smallest businesses.

As well as the highest job satisfaction rate (21 per cent strongly agreeing and 41 per cent tending to agree), small business employees were also the most committed and loyal to their organisations.
