A survey by PwC Global reveals that more employees worldwide are planning to switch jobs in the next 12 months compared to the "Great Resignation" period of 2022.

The '2024 Hopes and Fears' survey found that 28% of workers are "extremely or very likely" to change employers, up from 26% in 2023 and 19% in 2022.

The survey included responses from over 56,000 workers in 50 countries.

Despite a slight increase in job satisfaction, with 60% of employees reporting being very or moderately satisfied compared to 56% last year, the desire to change jobs remains high.

The survey indicates that job satisfaction does not necessarily correlate with employee retention.

The "Great Resignation," characterized by high job turnover for better opportunities, saw 47 million people quit their jobs in 2021 and 50 million in 2022, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. This trend appeared to slow down in 2023.
