Employee Engagement in the 2010 Workforce

Employee turnover is expected to rise next year suggests a new survey by Right Management. In fact, 60% of employees intend to leave, 21% are networking, and an additional 6% are updating their resumes, reports the talent and career management expert within Manpower, an employment services provider.

While the best workers are mobile in any economy, many are attracted to what the company has to offer be it career development opportunities, attaining work/life balance, or even working for an innovative company culture. Employees like these can and will change jobs because they simply want to.

"As leaders, we need to accommodate different lifestyles and work choices and find ways to balance these with business needs to ensure high levels of productivity and performance," states Douglas J. Matthews, President and Chief Operating Officer at Right Management. "This influences how organizations attract, engage and retain talent. A segmented, customized and flexible talent strategy is critical to stem the alarming levels of employee turnover anticipated next year," says Matthews.
