Stressed out office workers dream of outdoor life
Millions of office workers dream of having a practical or outdoor job because of rising levels of stress and workloads, a new survey revealed today.
One in five office staff long to get their hands dirty in a more vocational post, while a third are actively planning a career switch.
The poll of 1,000 employees by vocational awards body City & Guilds showed that one in eight lawyers dreamed of becoming a farmer, while a similar number of architects would love to become artists or cartoonists.
Many of those questioned said they would like to become their own boss, with stress one of the main reasons for office staff wanting a new challenge.
Chris Humphries, director general of City & Guilds, said: "Our research findings indicate that self-employment is a popular choice as workers push job satisfaction up the agenda.
"Britain has always had a strong enterprise culture, but anyone considering the self-employment route needs a certain set of skills to succeed, such as financial management and marketing."
Age discrimianiton at work.
More young people believe they suffer from discrimination in the workplace than older employees, a survey has found.
While 48% of employees over 45 felt people of their age were being sidelined in the world of work, 58% of those aged between 16 and 24 felt they had been unfairly treated because of their age or lack of experience.
The research by the law firm Eversheds revealed that people believed the workplace was rife with age discrimination, which will be banned by legislation due to come into force in October 2006.
Rather than being a sign of young people's high expectations, the younger employees' complaints illustrated how senior managers tended to think of age discrimination in termos of older workers. Nerarly half of senior managers think that age discrimination only affects old people. Also, only a fifth of companies gave a bon on using age as a factor in recruitment.
Under the new anti-discrimiation law, job advers using phrases such as experienced, graduate or matura could be regarded as discriminatory, breaching legislation.
