The Great Resignation, which gained momentum after the pandemic when a significant number of people quit their jobs, has not slowed down. The rate of resignations following the pandemic disruption didn’t return to normal.
In fact, our data shows that people are still quitting their jobs. A huge number of employees who have not resigned plan to do so in the coming months and are on the lookout for better opportunities.
Work-life balance is very valuable to employees as it can impact their overall well-being, job satisfaction, and productivity.
Employers who prioritize and enable work-life balance may benefit from increased employee engagement and retention. Employees and employers should communicate openly and find ways to create a work-life balance that aligns with individual needs and job requirements.
Flexibility has become an integral part of work-life balance, and companies must adapt their ways of thinking about the employee experience to reflect this reality.
Job hopping refers to the practice of changing jobs frequently, typically within a short period of time. There are various reasons why people engage in job hopping:
Better pay: Some individuals may switch jobs in pursuit of better compensation and benefits, including higher salaries, bonuses, or other financial incentives.
Flexibility: Work-life balance and flexibility have become increasingly important to employees. Some individuals may job hop to find roles that offer more flexibility in terms of remote work options, flexible schedules, or other work arrangements that better suit their lifestyle.
Career progression: Job hopping can be a strategy for career advancement, especially for those seeking faster career growth or better opportunities for professional development. Switching jobs may allow individuals to gain new skills, experiences, and responsibilities that can accelerate their career progression.
Dissatisfaction with current job: Individuals may job hop if they are dissatisfied with their current job for various reasons, including lack of job satisfaction, poor work environment, lack of growth opportunities, or conflicts with colleagues or supervisors.
Changing vocational interests: Some may choose to change their vocation entirely, exploring different career paths or industries to pursue their passions or interests.
For employers, this trend presents an opportunity to stand out in the race for talent. Pay is an area where employers need to align with the industry, but career progression offers an opportunity to differentiate and compete on a more qualitative, cultural level.
