Looks like some job openings are coming soon….
A number of them are seeking more comfort in the workforce. Forty-four percent expressed a “desire for better benefits,” while 43% are looking for less stressful work days. Career strategist Julia Toothacre isn’t too surprised by the outcome of the survey as she feels more younger workers are still trying to figure out what they want out of a career. Younger workers tend to switch jobs at a higher rate because they are trying to determine what type of function, industry, and environment would work best for them,” Toothacre said.
“Along with that, you can increase your salary quicker when you change jobs every few years, and those early career years are the best time to do that.”
Another reason why people are quitting is the requirement to go into the office. After COVID presented more opportunities to work remotely, Toothacre said workforce demands could force employers to promote remote or hybrid offerings if the candidate pool continues to shrink. “This is an employer market, which is why you’re seeing so many RTO mandates,” she added. “When the market shifts back to candidates, we’ll see more perks.”
However, as the threat of another recession comes from financial experts, the number of employees quitting will likely decline since finding a job can be hard during times of economic struggle.
