Younger Employees Most Dissatisfied
A Conference Board survey of working people found that less than half of employees polled were “satisfied” with their jobs, with job dissatisfaction highest among employees under 25. Among the disturbing findings for employers was that older, more experienced workers who were dissatisfied were reluctant to share or pass on their job skills and experience to younger workers. Employers who are enjoying the current “glut” of applicants may find themselves blindsided by massive turnover when the economy improves - and it will. Now is the time to take steps to avoid staffing problems that will strike just as business is picking up.
