Majority of employees want different job
Leslie Haggin Geary, CNN/Money Staff Writer writes:
“Survey: employees overworked, stressed out, fed up.”
“[M]ore than eight in 10 workers plan to look for a new job when the economy heats up.”
A number of factors causing this attitude are discussed, as well as several references to interviews with overworked, overstressed individuals.
“The most recent job report from the Labor Department shows that employers are finally adding to their payrolls. And human resource managers are bracing for a stampede.”
Gerald Ledford, senior vice president at Sibson Consulting, notes that if 16 percent of workers do leave their jobs – as his firm predicts – that will match the high turnover rates of the late 1990′s, when employees hop scotched from job to job.”
“‘It’s a very expensive problem,’ says Ledford,” referring to all the turnover costs: recruiting, hiring, training, etc.
