Legal profession in lead

Senior managers are helping to lift the credit crunch gloom for lawyers, according to the most recent Happiness at Work Index published by recruitment consultants Badenoch & Clark.

The index shows that most employees prefer to see their managers leading by example during an economic downturn, rather than spending more time with them sitting down to discuss business performance. The legal sector comes out top with 55% of respondents saying their managers were setting a good example. Meanwhile, record levels of unhappiness are plaguing the UK workplace, with over a quarter of employees claiming to be unhappy in their jobs.
