FILIPINO MILLENNIALS QUICK TO QUIT JOBS
Two out of every five Filipino millennials are likely to ditch their current jobs within two years, mostly because they don’t feel that their leadership skills are sufficiently harnessed by their employers.
This puts businesses at risk of losing young employees who were born after 1982 and who have come of age in the Internet era.
The forecast was based on Deloitte’s fifth annual “Millennial Survey”, released by Navarro Amper & Co yesterday.
Given the choice, 40 per cent of Filipino millennials would leave their current employers within two years, with that figure rising to 64 per cent when the time frame is extended to 2020, Navarro Amper said in a press statement.
On a global basis, 44 per cent of millennials expected to resign within two years, while 66 per cent are likely to quit within five years.
This dissatisfaction among millennial employees stems partly from feelings of being underutilised and the perception that they are not being developed as leaders: 62 per cent of Filipino millennials say their leadership skills are not being fully developed in their current organisation.
Among those who said they planned to leave within two years, 61 per cent feel that they are being overlooked for potential leadership positions. – Philippine Daily Inquirer
