Got job-hopping Gen Xers on your staff? Want to keep them?
Researchers Charlotte and Laura Shelton studied the group and found the following:
77% of Gen Xers say they’d leave their current jobs if they found “increased intellectual stimulation” elsewhere.
61% of Xer women said they’d leave their job for one that was more flexible.
51% of Gen Xers said they’d quit if another employer offered them the chance to telecommute.
The average Gen X worker in his 20s stays at each job for only to 1.1 year.
“Having a best friend at work” was one of 12 key predictors of both job satisfaction and high performance.
On second thought, maybe you don’t want them after all…
