Employees in today's fast-paced, highly competitive industry are frequently overworked and underpaid. It can be exhausting to be under constant pressure to meet deadlines, exceed goals, and constantly innovate. When combined with long hours, heavy workloads, and inadequate pay, it can have a significant impact on employees' well-being and productivity. Employees' confidence and job satisfaction suffer when they are underpaid. According to a Glassdoor survey, 45 percent of employees have left a job due to pay issues, and 61 percent believe they are paid less than their peers in similar professions.
