Canadians’ Satisfaction with Work
Canadian Education and Research for Counseling (CERIC) has recently released some encouraging news for Canadians based on a recent survey:
From executives to front-line service workers, and across occupations:
- 86% like the work they do
- 88% like the people they work with
- 62% are generally content with their job, with no plans to move on.
- For the 33% who hope to land a new position, it is for one of two reasons–either they are not happy with their compensation or are under 30 and looking for a new job with more responsibility or closer to their field of interest.
For details on the complete research carried out by CERIC, and full survey findings, visit this Newswire link: http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/February2011/02/c6366.html
