The results, collected from an online poll, suggest that despite the
continued downturn those within employment are confident about their future and
that of the business they work in.
With UK unemployment rates reaching a staggering 2,435,000 from April to June
20091, PCS Executive Regional Director, Simon Hudson, comments that this
confidence may be misplaced.
“These results can be interpreted in two ways. It is positive to see that people
have the confidence in the businesses they work for, however, we have to be
mindful that there are still a number of industries that are feeling the knock
on effect of the recession.”
He added: “As an outplacement specialist we meet with people on a regular basis
who have been through very difficult times, having been made redundant after a
number of years. We want to reassure people that there is somewhere to go should
you find yourself in this predicament.”
The poll also found that more than 500 people questioned expect to be in their
position for more than 3 years and only 332 people reported that they would only
expect to be in their current position for a year, amounting to less than 19.6
per cent of those questioned.
