In the UK, 42% of employees say they feel undervalued. That means that four in ten people listening to this podcast episode feel invisible at work. If people feel like they are replaceable, they will act like they are.

replaceable. People want to feel like they are needed. So what we wanted to talk about was these practical ideas for what this might look like at work. Hi, it's Helen from the Squidgly Careers podcast. And before you listen to today's episode, I wanted to let you know about some news that Sarah and I are very excited about.

And that is that our new book, Learn Like a Lobster, is now ready to pre-order. We think that learning is so important to people succeeding in their squiggly career, but we recognise that it is not easy to do. And so we wanted to inspire people to look differently at learning and we think that lobsters are the role model that we have been missing. We really, really appreciate it when people pre-order our books. It means that our book gets momentum and also you get it first.
