Do you ever wonder which employees are not happy with their current positions?
What about which ones already have one foot out the door?
Leave it to the experts!
Mercer released a survey asking 2,400 people in the U.S. workforce what they thought about their jobs.
The result: One in three (32%) are looking to leave their current positions.
How do you know which staff members are planning to leave from the others who are not looking to make a move? The study shows….
-Men rank slightly higher than women coming in at 34%.
-Your youngest staff members (ages 16-24) are the most likely to be considering leaving – topping the charts with 44% and ages 25-34 following closely behind at 40%.
-Short tenured employees (being with the company for 1-2 years) also come in first at 43%
And last but not least, 37% are more than likely to be management.
Out of all these statistics, the most popular industries that would see these trends are mid-sized High-Technology companies and the Retail/Leisure industries.
There is going to be a lot of change once the economy picks back up, making it an applicant’s market. Total compensation, career opportunities, co-workers and the type of work being done are reasons why these employees are scanning the market.
To prepare for the future, take a good look at your team and take action now to improve productivity and stabilize your staff for what‘s ahead.
