Over half of workers are dissatisfied with their jobs, according to a new study.

A new study by HP Inc. has revealed that more than half of workers today are unhappy with their jobs, even in the current remote-to-hybrid working environment. 15,000 employees from different fields in 12 countries took part in the "Work Relationship Index" survey, and the results were concerning.

62% of the participants said that their negative work experience had an effect on their physical health. Meanwhile, only 27% of desk-based, or knowledge workers, reported feeling positive about their workplace. This low morale was so bad that 83% of respondents were willing to take a pay cut in exchange for better mental health.

The findings of the survey have prompted HP Inc. to encourage employers to change their dynamics to make sure their employees have a better experience. The President and CEO of HP Inc., Enrique Lores, said in a press statement that this should be seen as an opportunity to "strengthen" the relationship between employer and employee.

"The most successful companies are built on cultures that enable employees to excel in their careers while thriving outside of work," Lores said.

The main causes of these negative sentiments are stress and an inability to maintain a work-life balance. Employers must focus on their staff's overall well-being and make sure they have a good balance between work and life in order to reduce discontent. Doing so will lead to better productivity and a healthier work environment.
