Employer take note – around two-thirds (69%) of audit and governance professionals want to leave their position in the next year!
Research carried out by CareersinAudit.com has discovered the main reason for looking to move was the lack of promotion and pay rises in their current role.
And, the data showed it was experienced professionals appear to be driving this trend, with 60% of professionals aged 41 and over planning to move in the next six months, compared to 43% of 26-40-year-olds.
CareersinAudit.com director, Simon Wright (pictured), said: “The fact that the majority of professionals in audit and governance industries will be looking for new roles in the near future should be a huge concern for employers across the sectors.
“As with any industry, keeping employees motivated and happy in their roles is crucial to retaining top talent, and also attracting new people to join.
“Regular 1-2-1s and performance reviews, providing clear career progression paths and incentivising employees with additional benefits including work-life-balance and homeworking options, as well as regular pay increases, are just some of the areas that should be implemented to prevent professionals from seeking pastures new.”
