As the post-pandemic burnout led to a trend of ‘quiet quitting’, LinkedIn has revealed the UK is entering into the age of ‘Career Committing’ - employees investing in their career against a backdrop of economic uncertainty, by learning new skills and taking on new challenges.
Over half (56%) of UK employees have made positive changes at work in response to economic turbulence, including proactively taking on new projects (39%), networking more (35%) and making more of an effort with colleagues (30%).
Furthermore, 74% are seeking to invest in new skills to improve their career prospects and give themselves the tools to weather the economic storm.
