Almost a quarter of workers are actively planning to change employers in the next few months, a report has claimed, as part of a “great resignation” prompted by a high number of vacancies and burnout caused by the pandemic.
A survey of 6,000 workers by the recruitment firm Randstad UK found that 69% of them were feeling confident about moving to a new role in the next few months, with 24% planning a change within three to six months.
The company said it would normally expect up to 11% of workers to move jobs every year.
It has warned that such a move will have considerable cost implications for employers – as much as £25,000 for each worker – and said it has been advising clients to start looking at whether they needed to improve pay and other conditions to help them retain their best staff.
Yeah, I guess this makes sense... whether it's cuts in hours, cuts in pay or benefits, or just COVID measures making the job itself harder, a lot of people will have been affected by this . Although, I'm not sure that changing jobs is the best solution: after all, even if they do find a new job, they may very well find the same issues there.
So, have you been feeling any burnout with your current job - and, if so, are you looking for a new one?
