Do you think your employees are happy at work? Really? What if you knew that four of five of them were actively looking for a new job? Would that motive you to change your work environment?
According to a poll by Right Management, the talent and career management unit with ManpowerGroup, 83 percent of nearly 900 workers who responded to an online poll say they "intend to actively seek a new position in the New Year." Another 12 percent are considering making a move, and just 5 percent intend to stay put.
Right Management's conclusion is that companies should find out more about how their workers feel about their current work environment, and then take steps to redesign it based on feedback received. Those companies that don't listen to their employees face the astronomical costs of constant turnover, especially as the job market gets hotter by the month.
