Ineffective, insufficient, and generic method to suggestions accelerates Nice Resignation in UK companies
London, UK, 7 June 2022 – There’s a large hole between the worker expertise that UK workers are on the lookout for and what’s presently offered by HR, sparking discontent and resignations, in line with unsettling new analysis findings from Tivian, the chief in clever expertise administration.

The statistics the research discovered were stark. Failing to behave is driving workers out of the door – 67% of staff stated they’d be extra more likely to keep if employers listened and made modifications primarily based on their suggestions. 85% of HR workers assume they’re utilizing worker suggestions to enhance the expertise they provide. But solely half (50%) of workers agree. Simply 14% assume their employer makes use of suggestions very successfully to drive change. With workers leaving at an growing charge, it appears organisations have misplaced monitor of learn how to retain expertise, implementing ineffective listening methods that staff really feel minimise their roles.
“Worker suggestions programmes ought to be serving to corporations battle the Nice Resignation – however the information reveals that they’re basically damaged,” stated Peter Wilde, Head of Worker Expertise, Tivian. “Much more worrying is that not like workers, most HR professionals imagine they’re nonetheless efficient. It’s time to cease treating suggestions as a tick field train and ship a personalised, two-way method that makes use of communication to inspire, preserve, and get the very best out of workers.”
Staff really feel powerless and that their bosses are out of contact with their wants. 70% of workers stated that they had little or no affect over how issues have been performed at their firm and 38% felt the corporate was not often or by no means open to their concepts. Whereas 97% needed to work for open and clear organisations solely round half (55%) truly did. Worryingly, HR agreed – simply 42% stated their firm “did transparency” nicely.
All of us need to be handled as a person. However apparently this isn’t occurring at work. Solely 12% of staff obtain laser-targeted, personalised suggestions – 88% get generic, one-size-fits-all communications that may very well be meant for anybody. Regardless of the expertise they’ve acquired, 70% of HR workers admit that they only talk with generic templates or on a departmental stage.
HR has upped the cadence of listening programmes, with 80% asking for worker suggestions on a each day, weekly, month-to-month, or quarterly foundation. However in line with the numbers, they’re not listening holistically throughout the worker lifecycle. Solely 36% of HR groups accumulate suggestions throughout recruitment, 50% throughout onboarding and 19% on work anniversaries. Listening at these important moments is important to workers feeling a “private contact” to their work life, and to supply essential suggestions that drives enhancements. Solely two-thirds (62%) accumulate suggestions when an worker resigns. Too little, too late. Doing this earlier may nicely forestall them leaving within the first place.
“There’s two irritating conclusions from our research,” stated Peter Wilde, Head of Worker Expertise, Tivian. “Firstly, HR professionals assume they’re doing job however clearly aren’t. And most significantly these gaps might be simply bridged if HR workers begin considering like entrepreneurs. The instruments and processes are on the market for the shopper expertise – HR must embrace them to ship the fitting worker expertise. Then they’ll be giving individuals what they really need and add actual worth to the enterprise.”
