Seven in 10 workers have admitted that seeing colleagues resign makes them consider quitting themselves, according to new research.
A study by Adecco, which polled 34,200 workers across 25 countries in April and May as part of its Global Workforce of The Future 2022 report, found that while the majority would only consider quitting, half of the respondents would actually hand in their notice.
When separated by country, the results showed that just under three in 10 (29 per cent) UK employees would consider leaving their current job, while employees from Australia (33 per cent) and Switzerland (32 per cent) were most likely to quit after colleagues departed.
