A new survey suggests Brexit is causing non-U.K. nationals to leave Britain, prompting fears of a labor shortage.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) along with HR firm Adecco quizzed more than 1,000 employers as part of their regular "Labour Market Outlook" survey.

The poll, based on responses from 1,051 employers, finds U.K. employers are struggling to fill jobs in factories and hospitals as more EU nationals feel increasingly uncertain over their right to work.

"Almost three-in-ten employers say that non-U.K. nationals from the European Union considered leaving their organization in the six months to December 2016," according to the survey, released Monday.

In the foreword, John L. Marshall, chief executive of The Adecco Group, argued the effects of Brexit were now beginning to take hold.
