Employees who feel valued at work are more likely to report better physical and mental health, as well as higher levels of engagement, satisfaction and motivation, according to a survey by the American Psychological Association.
Employees who don’t feel valued, meanwhile, are job hunting. Half of the adults surveyed who say they don’t feel valued at work intend to look for a new job in the next year. Among those employees who report feeling valued, only 21% say they intend to look for a new job in the next year.
