Most employees are staying put—for now, according to data from LHH.

“As AI and machine learning continue to automate routine tasks, today’s employees seem willing to embrace technology in their current roles, and, of course, in their next ones. So, they’re not necessarily concerned about being replaced, but they do want to be reassured,” the report says.

 

Key takeaways:

  • 47% of workers are at least looking at open roles. 33% think about their career plans daily or weekly. 72% contemplate their future plans—such as their next job, reskilling, and upskilling—no less than quarterly.
  • 51% of employees who said they are staying in their current jobs are doing so under the condition of career progression and upskilling. 65% of employees say that digitalization will have a positive impact on their jobs. 61% say the same about automation.
  • Companies with inclusive cultures are 3.8 times more likely to be innovators. 91% of employers feel their organizations are doing enough to promote diversity in the workplace, while 68% of employees think their companies could do more.
  • 60% of remote employees are extremely likely to search for a new job if they are not allowed remote flexibility.

“In our latest Workforce Trends Report, we discovered a major gap in how well employers and employees think their organizations are promoting diversity. By furthering your organization’s DEI efforts, you’ll bring together more unique skills, experiences, perspectives, and cultural backgrounds. This can be an incredible competitive advantage,” LHH says.
