Job Change Alert: Make Rapid Turnover Work For You
Employers are learning the hard way! More and more organizations
are acknowledging a critical fact . . . Finding ways to retain
valuable employees must begin before an experienced and talented
worker is entertaining an offer from someone else.
And things aren't getting any easier for employers. A recent
Harris and Associates survey shows that more than 50 percent of
workers expect to change jobs within the next five years!
Furthermore, rapid staff turnover is expected to escalate. That
means that just when companies are devoting more time to finding
new talent, they have to find ways to encourage current
employees to stay.
Managers can no longer afford to take for granted the steady,
productive employee who is a good, if unrecognized quality
performer. Sadly, they have been provided very little by way of
mentoring or appreciation. So, managers are contributing, often
unwittingly, to the turnover.
The good news is that, if you are considering a job or career
change you can make this dynamic work in your favor in two ways:
1. If 50% of your fellow employees are contemplating a job or
career change in the next five years, so are 50% in other
organizations. This spells opportunity for you.
2. You have added leverage to upgrade your job status both
within your own organization as well as in a prospective new
work environment.
The secret to using these changes effectively is to always know
what your options are. For example, you can stay on top of the
