One in five UK workers is frustrated in their job

According to research by management consultancy Hay Group, one fifth of the UK’s workforce is 'frustrated' at work, with half claiming they do not have the power to make decisions important to their jobs.

The main reasons for workplace frustration were identified as ineffective structures and procedures, poor handling of under-performance and the inability of managers to create productive working environments.

The research also found more than half of all line managers were unable to inspire a high-performance workplace, while as many as 40% of employees' line managers create 'demotivating' environments.
