73% Of Professionals Don't Love Current Positions

Hampton, N.H. (May 12th, 2015) - CAREEREALISM, a career advice and employment branding site, published the results of its 2015 career satisfaction survey, through which its audience of 1M+ monthly readers were polled. Readers were prompted to share their level of satisfaction with their current job and/or company. CAREEREALISM compiled the results and found:

• 38% of participants said their job was “okay, I guess”
• 35% of participants said they hated their current job
• 27% of participants said they “REALLY love” their job

“With 73% of participants not in love with their current position, the reality that the majority of a company’s employees are open to a new job should be a major concern of every executive team today," said CAREEREALISM founder and CEO J.T. O’Donnell. "Is your company prepared to handle unexpected turnover?" "If employees start quitting for better jobs," she continued, "are you ready to mobilize a recruiting strategy to find their replacements? And, how long will it take you to train new hires so they reach the productivity levels of the employees you lost? The message is clear right now: workers are dissatisfied, and that can put any company at risk of being negatively impacted by turnover.” As you can see, it’s important for a company to select job candidates based on who they think will fit into their company culture. Once a company is aware of what makes their company a great place to work, they will look for job candidates that they know match that specific culture; making them more likely to love what they do everyday.
