What were our findings?
A workforce in motion
It's all to play for in the labour market at the moment. Even if you have just hired a new recruit, there's no guarantee they are settled:
- 30% of the workforce are looking for a new job
- 46% of people who moved jobs in the last year are looking for a new job
For businesses, this means they need to offer employees the right incentives and develop the right culture to retain and attract the best talent.
