ManpowerGroup's Inaugural Global Talent Barometer Unveils Workplace Paradox

80% of Employees Find Meaning in Their Work, Yet One-Third Consider Leaving

Talent Retention and Engagement Challenges Come to Light

The inaugural Global Talent Barometer report from ManpowerGroup, the world's leading workforce solutions company, has unveiled a striking paradox in the workplace: while 80% of employees worldwide find meaning in their work, one in three are actively considering leaving their current roles.

This finding highlights a significant challenge for organizations in retaining and engaging their workforce. Despite employees finding fulfillment in their work, other factors are driving them to explore new opportunities.

The report, which surveyed over 50,000 people in 34 countries, reveals a number of key insights into the state of the global workforce. Here are some of the key findings:

• 80% of employees find meaning in their work.
• 33% of employees are considering leaving their current roles.
• The top reasons for employees considering leaving are lack of growth opportunities, limited earning potential, and dissatisfaction with company culture.

The report also found that the war for talent is intensifying, with organizations struggling to find the right people with the right skills. In a highly competitive job market, employers need to do more to attract and retain top talent.

The Global Talent Barometer provides valuable insights for organizations looking to improve their talent management strategies. By understanding the key drivers of employee retention and engagement, organizations can create more fulfilling and engaging work environments that will help them attract and retain the best talent.
