(2012年10月19日,费城)万宝盛华集团旗下的睿仕管理公司一项研究表明:尽管就业形势严峻,只有14%的下岗职工为了工作而迁居。
调查抽取了2012年前八个月中近7000名求职者对本地以外职位的接受意愿。“虚拟工作的盛行和许多公司接受灵活的工作模式可以解释为什么少有员工在不景气的就业市场中愿意接受外地职位,”Right Management职业生涯管理高级副总裁莫妮卡·莫罗(Monika Morrow)说,Right Management为“财富”500强企业提供人才介绍服务。
此外,“到外地就职会带来生活上的冲突和压力。一方面,有家庭问题,孩子们在学校里,受雇的合作伙伴在本地。另一方面在于工作机会本身,吸引力和薪酬是否有吸引力。但是,大多数求职者都只是不愿意重新找住处,尤其是中层管理人员和专业人士。“
莫罗指出,尽管就业市场疲软迫使个人考虑到外地寻找新的就业机会,但是个人可能无法及时出售房屋并做到价格公平。(E)
Right Management: Relatively few people had to relocate for new job
(Oct. 19, 2012, PHILADELPHIA)– Despite a tough job market, only 14% of laid-off employees relocated to take a new position this year, according to a study by Right Management, the talent and career management expert within ManpowerGroup.
Right Management reviewed data on nearly 7,000 job seekers throughout North America who received outplacement services by the firm during the first eight months of 2012.“Growing popularity in working virtually and the fact that many companies are embracing flexible work models could attribute to why so few employees are relocating in today’s tight employment market,” said Monika Morrow, Senior Vice President of Career Management for Right Management, which provides talent, career and outplacement services to Fortune 500 companies.
In addition, there are good reasons why more job seekers don’t want to relocate, noted Morrow. “There are invariably conflicting pressures. On the one hand there are family issues, kids in school and perhaps an employed partner. On the other there’s the job offer itself, which may be attractive in terms of opportunity and compensation. But most job seekers are just reluctant to pick up and relocate, especially for mid-level managers and professionals.”
Even though the weak job market, noted Morrow, has compelled individuals to look outside their own area or region for new employment, an individual may be unable to sell a home in a timely manner or at the fair price.
