75%的美国工人想换工作了

随着全球各国面临不同程度的经济放缓,企业领导者一直在尝试夺回在新冠疫情期间和“大辞职潮”(Great Resignation)时代被员工拿去的部分权力。

就在4月下旬,Meta宣布预计将在未来几个月内裁员1万人,此前还呼吁员工“尽可能多地寻找与同事面对面工作的机会。”需要指出的是,这家社交媒体巨头已经在2022年11月裁减了1.1万名员工。与此同时,全球最大的托管银行和证券服务公司纽约梅隆银行(BNY Mellon)威胁称,如果员工不恢复每周至少在办公室工作三天的日程,公司就将采取“纠正措施”。

裁员、要求员工重返办公室,以及削减福利,只是老板重新掌权的几个迹象,而员工们也知道这一点。

根据职业平台The Muse的研究,大约三分之二的员工认为自身权力较一年前有所减少。同样比例的员工还指出,2023年的招聘工作已经放缓。

尽管如此,广大员工仍然没有被权力的动态变化所吓倒,他们依旧愿意离开那些不能满足其愿望和需求的雇主。

事实上,在The Muse调查的近7,000名员工中,绝大多数人(75%)打算在未来12个月内更换工作——较2022年的65%显著增加。

此外,63%的受访者表示,经济动荡不会影响他们的跳槽计划。

员工打算离开当前雇主的首要原因

1. 令人极不愉快的工作场所文化(34%)

2. 缺乏灵活性(26%)

3. 裁员预期(22%)

4. 薪金冻结(22%)

5. 实际裁员和/或招聘冻结(17%)

6. 缺乏多样性(14%)

调查结果表明,尽管员工可能觉得自己的权力减弱了,但他们仍然会离开令人极不愉快的工作场所。超过三分之一的受访者称,这是他们寻找新工作的原因。与此同时,超过四分之一的受访者指出,缺乏灵活性和/或远程工作政策是他们想辞职的原因。

与实际裁员相比,裁员预期更容易成为员工离职的动机。这可能是因为,在裁员计划正式宣布之前,公司内部谣言四起,一些员工或许为自身职位的未来忧心忡忡。为了保住面子(并赶在其他员工被裁之前),这些人可能会考虑在自己被抛弃之前先炒了老板的鱿鱼。

除了Z世代之外,每一代员工最渴望的事情,莫过于离开令人厌恶的雇主。根据这项研究,最年轻一代员工最害怕未来职位不保。39%的Z世代受访者称,这是他们考虑跳槽的原因——而持有这种看法的年轻男性往往多于年轻女性,分别为27%和20%。

相比之下,只有四分之一的千禧一代表示,潜在的裁员促使他们寻找新工作。越资深的员工对潜在裁员的担忧似乎越少,仅有20%的X一代和18%的婴儿潮一代员工将潜在裁员视为自己找工作的原因。

另外,亚裔受访者因为公司缺乏多样性而更换工作的动机最强(22%),其次是黑人员工(20%),白人受访者则是最缺乏这种离职动机的族裔群体(9%)。

员工对未来的雇主有何期望

希望摆脱令人厌恶的工作场所,是员工另谋高就的最大原因。但是,除了留意潜在雇主是否在使用一些危险语言,比如老板在面试时吹嘘公司“努力工作,尽情玩耍”的风气,员工在真正加入之前其实是很难筛选公司文化的。

这也许就是为什么大多数受访者(70%)并不关注某种特定的办公室文化,而是希望未来的雇主能够帮助员工实现工作与生活的平衡。按照研究人员的说法,这一排名在过去一年保持不变。这表明,在后疫情时代,求职的优先考虑事项已经发生了永久性变化。此外,在求职者眼中,工作与生活的平衡比薪酬(67%)、学习机会(59%)和福利(58%)更具吸引力。

尽管男性和女性都将工作与生活的平衡列为自己找新工作的首要考量,但女性比男性更注重这一点(分别为76%和65%)。女性也比男性更青睐包括带薪家事假在内的津贴和福利。与此同时,男性比女性更看重职位安全感。

另外,无论雇主说他们公司有多好,多灵活,求职者也不会当真。超过一半的受访者指出,他们会研究经过验证的员工推荐信,以评估一份新工作是否适合自己。与此同时,45%的人表示会查看匿名评论,四分之一的人会咨询社交媒体。

参加潜在雇主举办的活动,观察他们在压力下的表现(以及如何对待自家员工),似乎是一种颇为牵强的评估方式。然而,27%的Z世代受访者承认采取了这种策略,而其他年龄组的这一比例约为17%。

“我们的调查对象呈现了一个明显的趋势:员工们不会因为经济前景堪忧而满足于当下的工作。”研究人员总结道,“如果现在的雇主不能满足员工的需求,他们就准备找一个称心如意的新雇主。”(财富中文网)

As countries around the globe face varying levels of economic slowdown, business leaders have been attempting to regain some of the power lost to employees during the pandemic and the Great Resignation era.

Just in late April, Meta announced that it expected to lay off 10,000 employees in the coming months—on top of the 11,000 jobs that were cut in November—and previously called on staff to “find more opportunities to work with your colleagues in person.” Meanwhile, the world’s largest custodian bank and securities services company BNY Mellon threatened employees with “corrective action” if they don’t return to in-office working at least three days a week.

Layoffs, return-to-the-office mandates, and perk culling are just a few of the signs that bosses are back in charge—and employees know it.

According to research by the careers platform The Muse, around two-thirds of workers believe they have less power than they did just one year ago. The same percentage has also noted that hiring has slowed down in 2023.

Still, workers remain undeterred by the shifting power dynamic and are still willing to walk out on employers who don’t meet their wants and needs.

In fact, an overwhelming majority (75%) of the nearly 7,000 workers that The Muse surveyed are looking to change jobs in the next 12 months—up from 65% in 2022.

What’s more, 63% of respondents said that economic turbulence will not impact their plans to jump ship.

The top reasons workers want to leave their current employer

1. Toxic workplace culture (34%)

2. Lack of flexibility (26%)

3. Prospective layoffs (22%)

4. Salary freeze (22%)

5. Actual layoffs and/or hiring freezes (17%)

6. Lack of diversity (14%)

The finding suggests that workers may feel like they have less power but they will still walk out on toxic workplaces, with over a third of respondents citing that as the reason why they’re looking for pastures new. Meanwhile over a quarter of respondents pointed to a lack of flexibility and/or remote work policies as a cause for wanting to quit their job.

For workers, the idea of job cuts is more of a motivation to leave than actual layoffs. This could be because while rumors circulate in the lead-up to layoff announcements, employees may worry for the future of their role. To save face (and get ahead of the other future laid-off workers), such individuals may be contemplating dumping their employer before being dumped.

Every generation apart from Gen Zers are most focused on leaving toxic employers. According to the research, the youngest generation of workers is most fearful of future layoffs, with 39% of Gen Z respondents citing this as the reason they were considering making a move—with young men pointing to this more often than women, at 27% and 20% respectively.

In comparison, just a quarter of millennials said that potential layoffs contributed to seeking new employment. And as workers get more senior, it appears that this worry decreases further, with just 20% and 18% of Gen X and boomers respectively pointing to prospective job cuts as a reason for job hunting.

Separately, Asian respondents were the most motivated to change jobs over a lack of diversity (22%) followed by Black workers (20%), whereas white respondents were the least motivated ethnic group to do so (9%).

What workers want from future employers

The largest group of workers are job searching in the hopes of ditching a toxic workplace. But aside from keeping an eye out for red-flag language being used, like a boss boasting in an interview of the company’s “work hard, play hard” ethos, it’s hard to screen for culture before joining a company.

This is perhaps why, instead of focusing on a specific kind of office culture, most respondents (70%) said they want work-life balance from future employers. According to the researchers, this ranking has remained consistent over the past year, pointing to a permanent shift in priorities post-pandemic. What’s more, in the eyes of job seekers, work-life balance beats compensation (67%), learning opportunities (59%), and perks (58%) as an attraction.

Although both men and women ranked work-life balance as the top consideration for a new job, women felt this way more than men (76% and 65%, respectively). Women also favored perks and benefits, which include paid family leave, higher than men. Meanwhile, men ranked job security higher than women.

Plus, they’re not taking employers’ word on how good (and flexible) the company is. Over half of the respondents said they research testimonials from verified employees to evaluate whether a new job could be a good fit. Meanwhile, 45% said they look at anonymous reviews and a quarter consult social media.

Going to an event hosted by potential new employers and seeing how they act (and treat their staff) under pressure seems like a pretty far-fetched way to assess a company. Yet 27% of Gen Z respondents admitted to resorting to such tactics, compared to around 17% of the other age groups.

“One trend is clear among our survey respondents: Workers aren’t going to let fear about the economy make them complacent,” the researchers conclude. “And if their current employer isn’t cutting it, they’re ready to look for one that will.”
