Fifty-nine per cent of workers who took part in an ACTU survey stated that they are worried that they will lose their current job in the next couple of years. Over 70 per cent expressed the view that they felt as if they are working harder for less pay, while 80 per cent stated that getting a reasonable pay rise was difficult. ACTU Secretary Sally McManus, says the crux of the survey results is that workers want reasonable wage rises and more job security. The ACTU intends to use the results of the survey to back its case for an increase in the minimum wage.

Many Australian employees are mentally detached from their work. Recruitment firm Robert Half conducted a study of 300 CFOs and finance directors which shows that 49 per cent of small to medium businesses detected “inner resignation” among employees. Large organisations reported up to 54 per cent of workers being in this category. Robert Half Asia Pacific senior MD David Jones advises companies to take steps to re-engage workers, as poor morale has a negative impact on productivity.
