PANDEMIC – The champions of nostalgia. A study reveals that two thirds of French people (63%) who left their job during the Covid-19 pandemic say they quit too quickly. While the investigation was conducted in Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States and Mexico, the figure is highest in France.
According to Morning Consult, which collected the data in December 2021 and January 2022 in France on behalf of Ultimate Kronos Group (UKG), French people who left their jobs during the pandemic found this decision-making difficult (only 13% the say “very easy”), unlike their European counterparts.
Those who left their jobs were reluctant to quit (only 16% “very enthusiastic”), and are generally less satisfied (24% “extremely satisfied”) with their decision today than in the other countries surveyed.
Among the French who have resigned since the start of the pandemic, almost half (49%) have also decided to resign a second time, from their new position, during this period, more than twice the rate of the other European countries questioned. . Only only one third of them found a new job.
Why the French resigned
Among the bosses, the same feeling of regret: nearly three quarters (74%) of French managers would rehire their employees who left during the pandemic. That said, only one in five would rehire them all.
It is all the same in France that the rate of “boomerangs” is the lowest: managers there are the least inclined to consider re-hiring former employees. French employees are rather ready to come back if it were possible (65%).
According to this study, France is the only country where frustrations caused by management are at the top of the list of reasons for departures. The lack of valuation is the first justification invoked by the French who leave their jobs.
They are only 46% in Germany, 39% in the United Kingdom and 34% in the Netherlands to regret their choice of professional mobility. Only 24% of French people believe they are fully satisfied, the lowest rate of the countries studied.
This survey was conducted among two distinct groups: 1,950 employees who have voluntarily resigned or changed jobs at least once since the start of the pandemic in March 2020 (excluding those who resigned because of discrimination ), and 1,850 managers who have been in their roles for at least six months and have had at least one employee on their team resign during the pandemic.
