So many Austrians are open to a job change

"The willingness to change jobs among employees is currently higher than in recent years. This presents great opportunities for HR managers, as with attractive incentives and the right conditions, employees are willing to make a career change," said karriere.at CEO Georg Konjovic regarding the study's results.

Why Austrians are open to changing jobs

Active job seekers place more value on a good working environment and are more willing to change jobs due to negative working conditions or unsatisfactory leadership. Non-active seekers, on the other hand, prioritize improvements in salary, job location, and work-life balance. "We see from the numbers that people are more likely to quit and look for jobs when they feel pressure. They turn away from their current employer due to poor morale or conditions in the workplace. Those who are not actively looking for jobs but are open to something new are mainly convinced to apply by improvements in their current situation regarding salary, location, and work-life balance," says Konjovic.

Salary as the main reason for changing jobs

A survey of 1,013 employable individuals in Austria shows that a higher salary is the main reason for changing jobs. Many potential applicants lose interest if an employer does not offer a competitive salary or does not provide salary information in the job advertisement. "For many, a higher salary is a basic condition for changing jobs, especially for those who are in an existing employment relationship but are open to something new. Nevertheless, some advertisements mention 'market-conform pay' or 'minimum salary according to the collective agreement' - but talents today are not satisfied with that. If interested parties do not discover a specific salary indication when skimming a job advertisement, they move on to better offers," Konjovic warns of the need for more salary transparency in job advertisements.
