“Almost a third of employees have quit their jobs in the last 12 months due to a toxic workplace”, according to a new report from BreatheHR, our HR technology partner.

- Toxic workplace culture is costing the UK economy £20.2 billion per year
- 9 in 10 SMEs maintained productivity levels despite remote working
- 32% of SME employees say staying motivated and productive over the next 12 months will be their biggest challenge
- Only half of employees are satisfied with their employer’s efforts in maintaining positive remote culture during the pandemic
- Almost a third (27%) of employees quit due to company culture
- Only 25% of employees say mental health support was offered throughout 2020
