Employees have revealed that the main reason why they would leave their job is due to poor communication with management, according to a survey by serviced office provider Regus.

The second most popular reason was stress caused by overworking followed by poor promotion prospects.

The survey also asked workers what companies could do to avoid losing their best talents. With the UK detaining the lead in the classification of countries with the fewest public holidays it is no surprise to find that, aside form a pay rise, an additional three days holiday is top of UK workers' wish-lists.

"As workers pack up their swim-suits and towels after the holidays, they are more likely to dwell on the pros and cons of the job that is waiting for them at home. With reports indicating that one of the effects of the recovery is that many more employees have started quitting their jobs and are looking around for new ones businesses that are not providing all the trimmings may be heading for a brain-drain of their best talent," said Mark Dixon, CEO of Regus

"Stress caused by overwork has escalated during the past recession with people working harder and longer. Medicash reports that one in ten Britons feels stressed even before starting the work day. Bonuses and job perks were cut back to weather the storm, but as the economy picks up employees will be flocking to businesses that promise them better conditions and not necessarily the biggest wage."
