Brexit woes for employees

Nearly 60% of legal employees are worried about the impact of Brexit on their business, research has found.

Nearly three-quarters fear stagnating wages, more than a third anticipate decreasing workloads, and 57% are worried about job losses. Moreover, more than a third say Brexit has already had a negative impact on their business. David Morel, CEO of Tiger Recruitment, which commissioned the research in July, said businesses were in ‘a state of limbo, which is stifling innovation and growth’. The survey also uncovered increased stress and anxiety among staff due to the uncertainty of Brexit.
