A fifth of UK workers say they are likely to change jobs in the next 12 months as they seek better pay and job satisfaction, according to a survey.
Between January and March there were more job vacancies than unemployed people in the UK for the first time since records began, according to the Office for National Statistics ONS. Gen Z workers aged 24 and under and Millennial workers 25 to 40 years old were most likely to be seeking new jobs, raises or promotions, according to PwC. Those in management positions were more satisfied with their current jobs than those in non-management positions.
We have an amazing workforce but they are tired and they are working extra hours. She told BBC that we are recruiting in small numbers but more staff are leaving us.
She said that many people felt burnt out by Covid and now want a different work life balance or have left the workforce. We're seeing a lot of competition from industries like hospitality, who have pushed up pay rates to attract workers. PwC found that being able to work from home is a priority for workers, although a majority want to mix it with some time in the office.
According to latest ONS figures, around one in seven working adults in the UK 14% said they were purely doing their jobs from home in late April and early May.
