PwC survey | Great Resignation greater than ever in 2024 amid GenAI rollout & rising workloads

A PwC survey of the global workforce has found more workers expect to quit their current company in 2024 compared to the ‘Great Resignation’ in 2022.

According to the 2024 “Hopes and Fears” survey, which polled over 56,000 workers across the globe, 28% said they were “very or extremely likely” to move from their current company.

This compares to 26% in 2023 and 19% in 2022, when the Great Resignation was first coined.

The rising rate of itchy feet among the workforce could be explained by exhaustion from heavier workloads and frustration with ongoing change. 45% of workers surveyed said their workloads have risen and the pace of workplace change has accelerated in the past 12 months.
