Apparently one in three workers plan to look for a new job in 2015 – a significant increase compared to the number making this plan this time last year according to a survey conducted by the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM).January is of course always a popular time for people to think about a job change but maybe the increased numbers of people planning it this year indicate some confidence in employment opportunities after a grim few years of redundancies and cut backs?

So it’s great news for recruiters and exciting times for those who find that golden new opportunity! Employers meanwhile might want to think about how they hold on to the staff they value – what are you offering n the way of recognition, reward, challenge & opportunities that will encourage your very best employees to stick with you and not look else where?
