Knowing that Millennials and parents are under increasing pressure, EY, a company that provides professional services, conducted a survey to understand what employees seek in a job—why they quit, why they stay, and how this differs by generation.
The study consisted of approximately 9700 adults aged 18 through 67—who are full time employees—across a variety of companies in the US, UK, India, Japan, China, Germany, Mexico, and Brazil.
While “stagnant wages” were cited as the top reason full-time workers quit their jobs, globally, three out of the top six factors were due to work-life management challenges.
