‘Change’ is something that most of us resist, and sometimes for good reasons. Fear of the unknown, loss of certain things, and challenges with adapting to new conditions could be some factors that make people think twice before they go for a change. However, if someone overlooks these factors and looks for a change in their professional career, then there is something that is absolutely bothering them.
Let’s consider some factors that make employees rise above their reluctance to change and look for new jobs.
The need to be valued
According to Nectar’s employee recognition statistics, 77.9% of employees would be more productive if they were recognized more frequently. Recognition of good work in the form of monetary benefits, a certificate, or at least a round of applause in a meeting is something that could keep an employee happy.
According to Gallup’s analysis, only one in three workers in the U.S. strongly agree that they received recognition or praise for doing good work in the past seven days.
“Further, employees who do not feel adequately recognized are twice as likely to say they’ll quit in the next year,” stated the analysis.
New Challenges and Career Growth
A survey of 5,000 UK workers, carried out by Totaljobs, found that almost nine in 10 (89 percent) were thinking about changing jobs this year, with more than three-quarters (77 percent) already actively searching. In an indeed article, the first reason for employees leaving the job was due to a lack of challenges. Or, at least, they are not gaining the skills that would take them to the place where they wish to. On the slightest chance that they find a new opportunity with greater challenges that will allow them to hone their skills, they will make their way out of their current employer.
Higher Salary
Dollar bills matter anywhere. With the rising cost of living, an employee will always look for a job that pays them better. If the company they are working for pays below the market rate, then, it would be no surprise if that company has a high employee turnover rate.
