Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter
|
What are the top reasons employees are unsatisfied with their current roles?
|
|
|
Every week, clients and readers send in their job-search questions to be addressed in our weekly career corner. Check out this recent question and Ana’s answer:
“What are the top reasons employees are unsatisfied with their current roles?”
I connect with clients every week who, while currently employed, are actively seeking a new role. Here are the reasons which usually motivate their decisions (in no particular order):
- Total compensation - the salary and benefits aren’t meeting their needs.
- Logistics - long commute, lack of flexibility to work hybrid or remote despite having a role which doesn’t require being on-the-ground.
- Bad culture - they truly dread Mondays.
- Lack of stability - suspecting impending layoffs, experiencing a constant churn of leadership.
- Bad manager: Their manager doesn’t support, develop, or make them feel valued.
- Boredom - they no longer feel challenged or energized by the majority of their daily tasks. In fact, they find many of their daily responsibilities draining.
- Desire for growth - they believe the only way to take on more leadership is somewhere else.
- Desire for change - they’ve been at the same organization for too long and they suspect it’s time to leave.
Sometimes, it’s a combination of reasons that inspires a job-search, or none of the above. I hope you’re in a role where you feel valued, challenged, and enjoy the work!
