According to workforce solutions provider Kelly Services, more than
half (53 percent) of the respondents of the Kelly Global Workforce
Index (KGWI) survey believe that in order to develop their skills
and advance their careers, it is more important to change
employers, rather than remain with their existing employer.
The KGWI examines issues of job mobility and career progression
as part of a shift to a more autonomous and empowered workforce.
Nearly 170,000 people across all generations in 30 countries,
including the Americas, APAC and EMEA regions, participated in the
current survey.
In spite of the lingering uncertainty in the economy, more than
two-thirds (69 percent) of respondents say that if they did change
jobs, they would be in a good position to negotiate a similar or
better position. The highest level of confidence is in APAC (72
percent) and the Americas (71 percent), compared with EMEA (65
percent).
The survey reflects a changing attitude from workers, with more
seeking to gain new experiences and skills with multiple
employers.
As a sign of the new sense of self-reliance and autonomy seen in
today's workforce, nearly half of all workers (49 percent) say that
even when they are happy in a job, they actively look for better
job opportunities or evaluate the job market.
The results also show:
- Almost three-quarters (70 percent) consider work experience
with multiple employers to be an asset to their career growth and
advancement
- The idea of a 'career-for-life' with one employer is regarded
as "relevant" by one-third of respondents (31 percent). This notion
of a "one-employer career" is stronger in the Americas (49 percent)
than in APAC (29 percent) and EMEA (21 percent). Employees with
professional and technical skills are less attracted to the idea of
a career-for-life with one employer (28 percent) than other workers
(35 percent).
Complete findings are published in a new report, The Autonomous
and Empowered Workforce. For more information about the Kelly
