Younger employees working out of serviced offices in Cardiff or elsewhere may be some of those who need more nurture than their older counterparts, but are reluctant to ask for it, according to one expert.
Kevin Friery, clinical director at employee assistance programme provider Right Corecare, stated that the first ten years after leaving education and joining the workforce are spent learning skills essential to being an employee.
"They need more support at that time. They'll ask for it less often, but they need it more," he said.
He noted young staff members may have the technical skills required for the job but are not necessarily capable of coping with day-to-day pressures and stresses in a working environment.
This conforms to the findings of the recent research from the GfK NOP International Employee Engagement Survey 2011, which discovered 40 per cent of British workers aged 18 to 29 suffer regularly from stress at work compared with 24 per cent of over-60s.
Mr Friery explained the reason less experienced people tend not to ask for help, even if they need it, is that they want to display themselves as competent and confident for the sake of their career.
