“Our data shows that it’s frontline and middle managers who are experiencing the most stress at work,” says James Bufton, Organisational Trends Analyst at Great Place To Work UK. “They may also have the biggest impact on the majority of employees’ experience, so it’s vital they too are looked after by their employer.”
