Frequency of job scanning Å Keeping one eye on the jobs market can be a time-consuming activity for those who are constantly looking for alternatives. More than one-quarter (29%) of job seekers look once or twice a week, and over one-third (34%) look for a new opportunity on a daily basis. How frequently do you look for a better opportunity or evaluate the external job market? Frequency of Job scanning (Among those who actively do so even when happy in their job, by Region) 50% 40% Americas EMEA APAC All countries In EMEA, no less than 44% say they check the jobs market on a daily basis, while 30% do so once or twice a week. 30% 20% 10% 0% Daily Once or twice a week Once or twice a month Less than once a month Kelly Global Workforce Index 24
Conclusion looking forward, not back Many workers have experienced a significant shift in their attachment to employers in the wake of the global financial crisis, and this phenomenon is still shaping the employment relationship. The difficult economic environment tested the employee-employer partnership in many organizations, and it still lingers in the minds of some workers. Employees appear less content in their positions and are mindful about the importance of keeping their options open. There is a transactional element to the way employees view their employment— less emotional attachment, and a more rational, arm’s-length assessment of career prospects and alternatives. In this relatively fickle environment, employees are readily making judgment calls about the reputation of their employers and are ready to switch jobs should the need arise. Importantly, the variable state of the economic recovery across the globe is reflected in markedly less optimism in EMEA than in the Americas and APAC, where conditions are more buoyant.
