One in three Malaysian workers plans to change jobs and seek new opportunities within the next year, a recent survey shows.
This is the finding of a survey by Kelly Glo-bal Workforce Index (KGWI), in which nearly 170,000 people from 30 countries took part, including 4,500 Malaysians.
The annual index found 58% of Malaysians intend to look for new jobs with different employers within the next year.
“Many employees have become disengaged from their work, with less than half feeling valued by their employers.
“More than one in three say they frequently think about quitting,” said Kelly Services Singapore and Malaysia managing director Melissa Norman.
Those aged 19 to 30 (Gen Y) and 31 to 48 (Gen X) are more likely to switch jobs, with 59% from both generations planning to quit within the next year.
This is compared to the 43% among the generation aged 49 to 66 (the baby boomers).
Reasons:
1. Flexible working hours
2. Opportunity for growth
3. Opportunity for learning
