The workforce in North America say they want to find different jobs, according to a recent survey by RightManagement.
An online poll of more than 1,000 employees in Canada and the U.S. showed that 84 percent of respondents said they plan to look for a new position in 2012. Nine percent said they might seek a new job in 2012 and are preparing by networking. Another five percent of the respondents said they intend to stay in their current positions.
The findings, while unscientific, may indicate some employee dissatisfaction. However, it could also mean workers have more confidence in the economy to test the job market. During the recession, job mobility has been down because of economic uncertainty.
Employee restlessness could also mean more opportunities for staffing agencies.
