A third of staff only staying put to avoid re-entering uncertain jobs market
Two-thirds (67%) of the working population is likely to move on if offered a better job, according to a survey from recruiting firm Hays.
This means around 19m people would be prepared to quit.
However, a third (33%) of workers not currently looking for a job are only staying put to stay secure in a turbulent jobs market.
Just under a fifth (18%) believe there are no jobs that require their skills and 21% believe they would be unable to find a better-paid position.
Hays Insurance director Lloyd Rosenthal said: “These results indicate just how much the British workforce has suffered in recent years. Many workers feel disillusioned, over-worked and don’t always appreciate that there are opportunities out there for talented people. Many sectors are still looking for talented staff and there is currently a strong demand for insurance professionals.”
Rosenthal urged employers to motivate their staff to avoid losing skilled workers.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
