'Needs can go unmet' | One in five HR practitioners will switch jobs this year, survey reveals

Around 22% of HR professionals are looking to change jobs within the coming year, according to a new report.

The survey, which had 163 HR practitioners as respondents, revealed that one in ten people were actively seeking a new employer and were likely to switch soon.

44% said they would be open to changing jobs but hadn’t made plans to, while only 34% said they were happy to stay in the role they were currently in for at least another year.

The report also revealed that HR professionals between 35 and 44 years old appear to be the most discontented with their current job role – nearly a third (30%) of this group were very likely to be moving to a new role. This is compared to 15% of 25- to 34-year-olds and 20% of those over the age of 45.
