Nearly one-third (32 per cent) of employees plan to change jobs within the next two years while only 16 per cent intend to stay at their current employer within the next five years, according to a new survey.
The top considerations for wanting to find another job have to do with benefits, with 34 per cent believing they would receive better core benefits at another company, 33 per cent believing they will receive better ancillary benefits and 29 per cent believing they could have better childcare benefits.
More than a quarter (28 per cent) think they could have more control over their schedule at another company, found the survey by Indeed of 1,023 full-time workers in Canada.
“Many workers believe switching jobs is the best way to learn new skills and advance their careers. Thus, if employers want to attract and retain talent, they must develop a workplace culture that values upskilling and career development,” says Indeed.
“Gone are the days when workers would remain at companies for decades. Workers are increasingly ready and willing to switch jobs as a way to earn more experience, and get better perks and benefits,” says Indeed. “Remaining competitive via compensation, benefits, training and flexibility are just a few ways to help increase employee tenure.”
