Gaining employee loyalty is going to take some work, according to a new survey. Among the findings:
- 63% of respondents say they’ve considered changing their career path or industry or possibly going back to school in the past six months.
- 88% say they could picture themselves working in a different industry from the one they’re in currently. Gen Z and Millennial workers are most likely to say they’re open to changing industries.
- 61% say the opportunity to earn a living wage is the most important characteristic of a job.
- 38% say they felt less valued than they ever have in their career lives during the past year.
Money is only part of the reason people are seeking greener pastures. According to another survey, less than half of respondents reported making from 10-30% more money at a new job. About half of respondents say they wouldn’t take a job that doesn’t align with their values and their stance on social and environmental issues.
