Low salary, rising cost of living: Nearly 7 out of 10 UAE employees looking to switch jobs
Conversely, 15 to 20 per cent of professionals have no intention of switching jobs and are focused on progressing in their current roles
A survey relased by global HR solutions firm Adecco has indicated that most employyes are seeking an immediate job switch, due to low salaries, poor work- balance, inadequate emplooyye benefits and lack of work flexibility.
“Candidates today are increasingly driven by career pursuits. Discussions during interviews and job negotiations frequently revolve around job security, work-life balance, annual career progression opportunities, and competitive compensation,” said Mayank Patel, SVP and head of Adecco EEMENA and country head for Middle East.
“Salary remains a significant motivator for candidates in the UAE, but other factors such as good work-life balance, company culture, career prospects and job security also play crucial roles,” he said.
Adecco unveiled the UAE’s work trend report, based on insights gathered from 507 professionals across various industries and functions.
The highest numbers are observed in mid-senior level candidates within the technology and software services industry, followed by banking, construction, engineering, logistics, retail and luxury sectors.
