Workers are “hugging” — or, clinging to — their jobs right now.
But there’s a right way and a wrong way to “hug” your work — and doing it poorly could be costly, according to career experts and labor economists.
“I don’t think job hugging is the move,” said Mandi Woodruff-Santos, a career coach. The “quits” rate — which measures the pace of voluntary separations from employment — has sat at 2% in recent months, its lowest sustained level since 2016.
About 52% of new hires had changed jobs just once in the past two years, according to ZipRecruiter’s most recent quarterly survey of new hires. That share is up from 43% in Q2. The site surveys workers during the second month of each quarter.
