"Generation Next" recently conducted worldwide survey on how young professionals involved in finance view their jobs in the next two years. The survey was spearheaded by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
It will be good for employers to know the results of this survey so they will know what to expect from their employees in next 24 months. The attitudes and tendencies of young professional employees will obviously be defined in the survey.
The survey involved 19,000 young professionals below 36 years old from 150 countries around the globe asking them about what they want in the next two years. Seventy percent of the respondents revealed that they will seek new employment and 67 percent will seek job promotions in the next two years.
When it comes to gender differences, women are most likely to be more loyal and stay longer with the current employment than men. They are also more likely able to adjust their time with the demands of their family life than male employees. ACCA's Generation Next is really an interesting survey.
Those interested can view this report at the ACCA website for more information on the aspirations of young professionals in the finance industry. The high percentage of the young employees seeking new employment after two years can only mean that companies that do not meet their expectations will find themselves losing their employees to competitors that take good care of their employees.
The survey shows that there is a need for companies to provide employment benefit packages that include equitable remuneration, career planning and skills training. Close to 90 percent of the respondents said they will opt to stay with companies that provide such benefits. "So the challenge ahead for employers, both large and small, is making sure they provide the sort of work environment and clear path for progression that the best of the next generation demand," says Ms. Helen Brand OBE, chief executive of ACCA.
