Only slightly more than half of Australian Gen Z employees say their current job aligns with their ideal career, and just 6% plan to stay for a long time in their role, according to a new report.
A growing number of employees are lacking motivation and feeling "stuck" at work, which calls for a back-to-basics approach from their managers, often with HR's help, a Gartner director says.
When it's not possible to retain employees with above-market salaries, "connection to purpose" is a great thing to cultivate, and its becoming easier with AI, a panel of technology and HR specialists agree.
More than one-third of HR professionals aren't satisfied with their current remuneration, but it's poor leadership and culture, not low pay, that's driving them to leave.
HR professionals are accustomed to helping others build leadership capability, but new research into the reasons they're quitting suggests it's time to "look inward".
The proportion of employees who intend to stay with their employer has dropped to its lowest point in three years. This is partly due to external factors, but there are three specific levers HR can pull, an advisor says.
Meaningful conversations that drive wellbeing, performance, and retention require insight into how 'attached' an employee feels to an organisation, but most managers are flying blind, an engagement specialist says.
Candidates who don't plan to stay with an organisation long-term can still be worth their weight in gold, according to a head of talent who is seeing people put corporate careers on hold to share their expertise.
Cross-functional role rotations are most often utilised to develop junior talent, but their benefits make them worth considering for senior leaders, an HR specialist says.
