Is this the worst ever article on employees at work? A survey from a dubiously named company that reveals such gems as “46% [of employees] admit they are less productive when tired.”  Hang on, let me phone the DWP, all of a sudden unemployment reaching 2.47 million seems trivial in comparison to this…

Marianne Huggett, commenting on the MacLeod Review’s struggle to define employer engagement, suggests that, although the term psychological contract has fallen out of favour, it still sits at the core of the relationship between employer and employee.  However, her concern over the fragility of this bond may be unfounded.
