Workers Are Unhappy With Salaries

Almost half (47%) of full-time employees have considered leaving their current positions, and 21% have already applied for other jobs in the past six months, according to enterprise feedback management and market research firm MarketTools. At the same time, however, 74% are either very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with their current jobs.

Salary is the top reason for dissatisfaction, cited by nearly half of respondents. Workload, lack of opportunities for advancement, and conflicts with supervisors are also factors.

Six in 10 employees (61%) say their companies don’t have formal programs to solicit employee feedback. Among companies that do request feedback, most ask quarterly or less often, though almost a quarter (23%) request it at least once a week. [Workforce/Employment]
