Post-pandemic surge | £17bn cost as HUGE number of employees look to jump ship

New research from Personio shows that businesses in UK and Ireland could be set to be hit with the sharp end of a £16.9bn talent exodus with almost four in ten employees looking to change roles.

It doesn’t appear that HR or the business are prepared for this – with only 26% of employers saying talent retention is a priority for their organisation.

The research – which surveyed 500 HR decision makers as well as over 2000 workers – found that this lack of planning in the area of staff retention came despite 45% of employers worrying about staff leaving.

What’s causing the potential exodus?
