Small business employees are happier in their work
Friday, April 11th, 2008According to the Institute of Employment Studies (IES), people who spend their career working with a small company are more likely to feel appreciated than those who work for a larger business.
Working with only a few other staff will probably lead to closer, more mutually supportive relationships.
Working in a smaller company means that the work that any individual does is felt with more immediate effect, than if they are a cog in the machine of a larger organisation.
In my personal experience working for a small company is more interesting, as you get an understanding of all aspects of the business, this would not happen as easily in a large company. Also I have found that the roles are more varied and therefore more challenging.
The Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform’s SME Statistics report, which was published in the summer of 2007, noted an increase of 125,000 businesses in the UK for that year. Of these 99.3 per cent were small businesses with 50 employees or less.
