TRENDS

Looking for a new job in 2022? Most want to work from home

With an increasingly tightening labor market with heavily pronounced candidate shortages, salaries are now back to firstplace ranking, and are expected to remain up there in 2022.”

– Mark smith.

AUSSIE’S love affair with working from home will lead to one in four employees looking for a career change this year.

And we will be looking for an increase in salary at the same time according to people2people recruitment’s latest online polls.

Th e polls revealed the main drivers for those looking for new roles in 2022, with salary leading the way at 42.1%, followed by company culture 23%, workplace fl exibility 19.7% and job security 15.1%.

Managing Director of people2people recruitment Mark Smith said the labor market had been rapidly changing since March 2020 and work fl exibility was previously the second biggest factor, aft er company culture.

“However, with an increasingly tightening labor market with heavily pronounced candidate shortages, salaries are now back to fi rstplace ranking, and are expected to remain up there in 2022.”

“With four in 10 employees looking to change jobs or career in 2022 and more being directly approached by other organisations due to candidate shortages, it is essential to make your staff feel valued and ensure they are aware of potential opportunities available to them within their organisation.”

Mr Smith’s advice for employers to navigate the post-Covid workplace includes: 1. Reinstate face-to-face check-ins with team members to assess where they are at and relay any concerns they may have. 2. Explore ways to convey your company culture at work and home offices, and share a 2022 plan highlighting any new initiatives and projects for the year ahead. 3. If it hasn’t been done yet, make sure you book your performance and salary reviews this year or early

January. 4. For those planning to return to the office full-time, ensure your workplace flexibility policy is reviewed and options are made available for the teams.
