Workers vacating their present jobs for greener pastures

Who wouldn’t want to trade their job for bigger and more stable salary? If you just recently graduated with flying colors and found out that there are more opportunities abroad, would you go? If your answer is yes, then you belong to the high percentage of people around the world that would want to leave their present jobs according to survey done by Manpower Inc.

Survey of 31,000 respondents says that 78 percent are willing to move, and 41 percent are willing to be move permanently in. That simply means more than a half of the people participated in the survey wanted to trade their present jobs for a work in any part of the world. A lot of these workers wanted to be relocated in the United States which is their primary choice, followed by United Kingdom, Spain, Australia and Canada. Career advancement plus higher pays are common reasons why they would want to relocate.

There are a lot of advantages and disadvantages though for both employers and employees. Since recruiting people is very easy for employers, they could care less for those people who are servicing them for decades. They should find ways on how to keep their good employees in order to get better workers for them. For employees on the fence, they need to assess first what career path they want. So it could lessen hopping around from one company to another.
