This week, we saw yet another report demonstrating that the ‘great resignation’ theme which this column has been discussing over the last six months continues to dominate the future of the workplace.
The “Global Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey 2022” from professional services firm PWC questioned over 52,000 adults who are in work or active in the labour market on a range of issues affecting their future. It found that, as with many other studies, employees are increasingly looking for new opportunities elsewhere.
According to the study - which was undertaken in 44 countries across the world - one in five workers are likely to switch to a new employer soon with those aged between 18 and 41 being more likely to take that step to change their careers.
