Moving up the ladder seems to be less of a priority for workers these days. 

Randstad’s Workmonitor report revealed that 61% of workers say that they’re not currently focused on career progression. 

It also revealed that 50% of respondents would consider quitting if asked to spend more time in the office.  

Country Director for Randstad NZ, Richard Kennedy, told Mike Hosking that people are continuing to seek a work-life balance, prioritising mental health, learning, and flexibility.  

He said that ambitions are changing, and while workers are still interested in progressing their career, it’s not in the same way as before.
