The search for new employment opportunities

Gen Z and younger millennials are job-hopping to increase their salary and skills earlier in their careers
Job-hopping is not just post-pandemic behavior driven by Gen Zers during COVID-19 lockdowns.

Evolving relationship between workers and employers

Some say one reason for the spike in job-hopping is the erosion of the social contract between companies and employees. Repeated, recession-related layoffs have in some cases led to “right-sizing” in anticipation of an economic downturn (visible in the tech sector in 2022 and 2023).
Employers are less concerned about having access to talent. Today, it’s about motivating and keeping workers happy (employee well-being and professional development are top-of-mind for employees and hiring managers).
What’s motivating the search among US workers for new employment opportunities? (Robert Half data)

Impacts on workers and companies

Workers’ financial and well-being concerns are shifting, according to recent Mercer research.
The rise in awareness of work-life boundaries: The #1 action that employees are looking for is a “reduced workload.”

How should individuals and companies plan for the changing world of work?

Are workers who seek greater work-life balance as productive and more likely to be considered for promotion? Will they meet their goals for retiring on their terms?
Building a resilient financial plan will help give you better control over your future and confidence in your career decisions.
Pay attention to things outside of work that make you happy.
