What’s in the factsheet?

The New Zealand workplace is changing and employees are at the centre of it all.

As a result, employees are beginning to want more from their employers and this is directly influencing decisions around where to work and length of employment. For those wanting to attract and retain the best talent and build world-class businesses, it’s well worth taking the time to stop and discover what it is that employees want.

So, as we enter another year, there’s one thing on every employer’s mind.

The ‘Great Resignation’.

It’s a recent buzz term that’s got a lot of people feeling excited or concerned, depending on what perspective you’re looking at it from. The phrase comes from the World Economic Forum and their shocking statistic; 41% of employees worldwide plan to leave their jobs this year. This isn’t only unprecedented, for many employers and HR managers, it’s beyond comprehension.

With national restrictions and ongoing lockdowns in our biggest jobs hub, Auckland, there’s a high chance that this level of movement is far from over. As more job vacancies cause stretched teams, we could begin to see even more resignations due to burnout.
