10% in private sector change jobs

ONE in 10 private sector workers moved jobs this year and 60,000 employees quit because they did not like the people they worked with.

And a survey conducted by the Small Firms Association (SFA) found just 29,000 of the 199,000 who changed jobs did so to get better wages.

The survey also showed 25% left their job because they believe the Irish workplace culture suffers from a lack of recognition for the contribution which people make.
