Gen Y on the Move

Generation Y workers are the least satisfied at work and most likely to quit.

A national survey by human resources consultancy Mercer found 40% of employees were considering leaving their current position, but in the 25 to 34 age group, the proportion thinking of quitting jumped to over 50%.

Surprisingly, the largest single reason for Gen Y wanting to leave was not their pay or their manager but the nature of the work. Older workers were more satisfied with the nature of their work but had higher levels of dissatisfaction with career development and pay.

Buckmaster Hawkey Director, Mark Appleby says this report highlights an opportunity for people looking to fill Melbourne real estate jobs. “We have raised Gen Y kids to believe that you don’t have a job for life. This report highlights that many good recruits for property jobs are working outside the industry but want to get in.''
