A quarter (27%) of &lsquo;very fulfilled&rsquo; British workers say they are yet to reach their full potential and have yet more to give at work<br />
<br />

<br />
Britain&rsquo;s most fulfilled workers believe that the individual holds the key to finding success at work &ndash; determination and self-awareness are key<br />
<br />
High flyers say working smart is more important than working long hours<br />
<br />
Unfulfilled staff say employers can provide the biggest block to success<br />
<br />
Britain&rsquo;s most professionally fulfilled staff believe they still have more to give in their career in order to reach their full potential.<br />
<br />
Amid increasingly positive economic signals, Britain&rsquo;s high-flyers are showing they are not prepared to rest on their laurels. According to research by Randstad , the specialist recruiter, more than one in four Brits (27%) who describe their professional lives as &lsquo;very fulfilled&rsquo; feel they have still not yet reached their full potential. And of those who say they feel &lsquo;moderately fulfilled&rsquo; at work, nearly half (48%) believe they still have further to go. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The majority of British workers (56%) describe professional fulfilment as having &ldquo;a sense of satisfaction in the work that I do&rdquo;. Of the UK&rsquo;s working population, 4.8 million people (16%) describe themselves as &lsquo;very fulfilled&rsquo; in terms of their work, while 13.4m (45%) say they feel &lsquo;moderately fulfilled&rsquo;.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
With three fifths of the working population (18.2 million workers) saying they are at least moderately fulfilled this bodes well with regards to the number of British workers aiming high.<br />
<br />
Mark Bull, CEO of Randstad UK and the Middle East, said: &ldquo;Positive signals for the UK economy seem to be appearing every week which is fantastic news if we&rsquo;re to achieve a sustainable recovery. What is even more encouraging though is that we&rsquo;re achieving positive economic results while 1.3 million of Britain&rsquo;s high-flyers feel they still have further to go to reach their full potential. With this amount of ambition simmering beneath the surface of the UK&rsquo;s workforce we should be very hopeful of continued growth.&rdquo;<br />
