Despite a third of respondents saying they did not get enough recognition from their boss, some 67 per cent said they thought their manager had a genuine interest in their wellbeing and happiness at work. Almost half said they got on well with their boss on both a professional and personal level and two-thirds agreed they deserved to be in the position they were in.

Research of 5,000 workers in France, Germany and Italy has revealed over a quarter of European employees felt their bosses had no genuine interest for their wellbeing, with Italians feeling the most underappreciated followed by workers in France and Germany. By contrast, just 22 per cent of Britons said the same, the lowest number of all four major economies. The survey also found 44 per cent of European employees did not believe their bosses would be able to complete a day’s work in their job. This could be due to a lack of interest or effort to engage with them, with 36 per cent of workers on the continent saying their boss had no idea what they did on a day-to-day basis. “The workplace has a profound effect on shaping the beliefs and values of employees," said Saurav Chopra, co-founder and CEO of Perkbox. “In fact, a key differentiator separating the highest performing companies from the rest is the way they look after the wellbeing of their staff. “It signals ‘the right way’ of doing things and becomes self-reinforcing - you care for them, they will care for your business in return.” Created with Sketch.

(BUTTON) About The Independent commenting Independent Minds Comments can be posted by members of our membership scheme, Independent Minds. It allows our most engaged readers to debate the big issues, share their own experiences, discuss real-world solutions, and more. Our journalists will try to respond by joining the threads when they can to create a true meeting of independent minds. The most insightful comments on all subjects will be published daily in dedicated articles. You can also choose to be emailed when someone replies to your comment. The existing Open Comments threads will continue to exist for those who do not subscribe to Independent Minds. Due to the sheer scale of this comment community, we are not able to give each post the same level of attention, but we have preserved this area in the interests of open debate. Please continue to respect all commenters and create constructive debates. (BUTTON) Try for free Already registered?
