A recent study shows that young workers are seeking stable jobs, with many planning to stay for an average of seven years.
Cardiff: A new study has found that about 75% of young workers aged 18-27 are on the lookout for jobs that offer more stability and long-term prospects. This research, done by Admiral, shows that nearly 90% of Gen Z employees want a single employer that can provide them with financial security and a sense of belonging.
Interestingly, the average Gen Z worker plans to stick around for about seven years, which is double the three-and-a-half-year average reported in other studies. This age group is really leaning towards finding an “employer for life”—someone who supports their life outside of work and offers chances to grow within the company.
Take Kate McHugh, for example. She’s a 37-year-old project manager at Admiral who has chosen to stay with the company since she joined in 2010. She believes that if she had jumped from job to job, she wouldn’t have had the fulfilling career she has now.
Kate shared, “When I first joined, I thought it would just be a temporary gig. But I quickly realized that Admiral could provide everything I wanted for my career and life.” She’s been able to grow her career, become a manager, and even switch paths into project management—all thanks to sticking with one company.
She added, “It’s awesome to see young people recognizing the value in these long-term opportunities.”
