At companies with 50 employees or less, leadership, career prospects, surviving the recession and job security and satisfaction are all believed to be stronger. The survey, conducted by management school Roffey Park, questioned 1,500 managers at all levels from organisations of various sizes.
Employees from smaller companies were also more likely to feel “less cautious” in their work, that their career prospects were still progressing and felt that there was support available for new initiatives within the company.
However, the survey also stated that employees at small companies are more prone to feel uncertain about their future. The research highlighted a need for small companies to invest in staff development and suggested that manager were not making the most of the talent they have within their company. Managers would have also been more likely to have budgeted on staff training during the recession.
The survey also revealed that managers were also more likely to feel that redundancies within their company had been handled badly.
There are certainly pros and cons for employees working for either smaller or larger companies. However, it is encouraging to hear that smaller companies outperform larger businesses on staff wellbeing. We can look to the results of the survey to see how further measures can be taken to improve even more on this and in other areas.
