More than half of Australian workers, 56%, are willing to switch careers over the next 12 months, according to research by staffing firm Robert Half.

“In today’s economic climate, we’re seeing a significant uptick in professionals reevaluating their career path,” Nicole Gorton, director at Robert Half, said in a press release. “The uncertainty and volatility of both work and life over the past few years have spurred many to seek new opportunities for growth, stability or better alignment with their values.”

The most common reason for those seeking to change roles was to get a better work-life balance, cited by 56%. It was followed by larger earnings potential, cited by 51%; desire for a new challenge, 39%; greater job stability, 29%; and lack of advancement opportunities in current career, 26%.

Gen Z employees were the most willing to change at 62%, followed closely by millennials at 61%.

There was a difference between Australian states. The research found that 62% of workers in Victoria were willing to shift into a new career, compared to only 52% of those in Queensland.

The research is based on a survey of 1,000 full-time office workers across Australia.
