New report finds flexible working and company culture mean the difference between workers staying or quitting.
A new report has found that most tech workers in the UK are unhappy with their current role.
AI-powered job site hackajob surveyed over a thousand workers in the tech industry covering a diverse range of roles, from developers and engineers to data scientists and product managers.
The level of discontent was startling, with only 11% of respondents saying they were happy to continue working in their current employment. A massive 77%, on the other hand, were unhappy and looking for new vacancies.The new working world
The What Do Tech Talent Want in 2023 report (opens in new tab) revealed that the benefits and perks workers are looking for are not being offered by employers.
Since the global pandemic, ways of working have shifted, with many continuing to work remotely and flexibly. This in turn has shifted the priorities of what workers value most, and it seems employers are still playing catch-up.
Mark Chaffey, CEO and co-founder of hackajob, commented: “With former perks such as flexible working now being seen as the norm, many companies are seemingly struggling to figure out what the new era of benefits means for their business.
He added, « The gap between what companies are offering, and what tech workers want is causing unrest at a time when there’s no shortage of alternative job openings out there.
