More than two-thirds - 67 per cent - of employees in the UAE are seeking an immediate job switch, indicating a surge in job mobility and a willingness to explore new careers paths, according to a new survey released by global HR solutions firm Adecco.
The key factors influencing candidates to change their jobs include limited career progression, uncompetitive pay, rising cost of living, poor work-life balance, inadequate employee benefits, and lack of work flexibility.
"Candidates today are increasingly driven by career pursuits. Discussions during interviews and job negotiations frequently revolve around job security, work-life balance, annual career progression opportunities, and competitive compensation," said Mayank Patel, SVP and Head of Adecco EEMEA.
"Salary remains a significant motivator for candidates in the UAE, but other factors such as good work-life balance, company culture, career prospects and job security also play crucial roles,” he said.
