Firms are being urged to promote trust in the workplace after a study revealed the importance of a reliable work environment.
A survey of more than 2,000 employees found that one in four had left their job because of a lack of trust.
Health firm Bupa said its research showed the importance of an open and inclusive workplace culture.
Mark Allan, commercial director of Bupa UK Insurance, said: “As we spend the majority of our time in the workplace, it’s important we work in an environment with a good business culture.
“Our latest findings pay homage to this – suggesting that good relationships are more likely to boost engagement and influence whether someone stays at a company.
“This latest research highlights the importance of creating a workplace culture that allows people to thrive and also that businesses are recognising the importance of promoting a trustful workplace.”
