Retail bank planners least loved
Financial planners working for retail banks are the most likely to believe their employer does not value the work they do, the Money Management Salary Survey reveals.
The annual survey found that almost two in five retail bank planners said their employer did not value them, with just 29 per cent said were feeling their bosses' love.
Planners working for superannuation funds reported the second lowest levels of positive employer feelings (57 per cent), while those working for advisory firms were the most likely to feel valued by their bosses' (72 per cent), followed by those employed by accounting practices (71 per cent).
Possibly a product of their workplace, accounting practice-based planners were the only group to respond in black and white terms to whether they felt valued or not by their employer, with 29 per cent saying they were not, but none were unsure.
However, 17 per cent of advisory firm-based planners, with 29 per cent of those working for super funds, and a third of retail bank-employed planners feeling uncertain about their employers' feelings towards them.
