UK workers 'more likely to want job switch'
Workers in the UK were more likely to want to move jobs than employees in other countries, new research showed today.
They were also least likely to feel an emotional bond to their companies, according to a survey of workers in 10 countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany and the United States.
The survey of 160,000 workers showed that UK employees valued career opportunities and being treated with respect.
Nick Tatchell, project director of consultants ISR, which conducted the research, said some of the findings in the UK were surprising.
“Contrary to a widespread belief in the demise of the career path, this research suggests that employees are highly-motivated and energised by the genuine prospect of long-term career opportunities with their current employer,” he said.
