More than a quarter of professionals in the UAE say they felt less positive about their role after their most recent performance review, according to new research by recruitment and talent solutions firm Robert Walters.
The study found that 26 per cent of employees felt less positive following their last review, while only 21 per cent said the process left them feeling more optimistic about their future within the organisation.
The findings come as employers face increasing pressure to maintain employee engagement and confidence amid economic uncertainty and ongoing cost pressures.
According to the Robert Walters Middle East Salary Survey 2026, 46 per cent of professionals are concerned about their company’s ability to retain staff, while 66 per cent are considering a move to a new role this year.
