Financial services bosses voted UK's best

62% of the financial services workforce have expressed positivity about their bosses, according to a new survey.

The findings – published in the One4all Rewards Review of UK Management whitepaper – revealed that just 15% of workers described their bosses as ‘poor’.

Workers reported communication as the most important skill (71%) for their bosses to possess, while 60% said being grateful, regularly giving thanks and showing appreciation for staff’s efforts was also key.

Over half (53%) felt showing consideration for workers’ work/life balance was important.

Alan Smith, managing director at One4all Rewards, said: “Bosses play an essential role in driving our economy forward, but even the most informed and experienced boss would struggle to maintain a successful, growing company without their work being underpinned by happy and hardworking staff who feel motivated and incentivised to perform for the business.

 “Effective and expressive communication is the most crucial distinction workers measure their bosses by. 

“Everyone wants their efforts to be recognised and valued, and to clearly understand what it is their manager expects of them.

“Communication is absolutely vital for maintaining positive morale in the workforce.”
