Aon plc released results from its 2025 Human Capital Employee Sentiment Study on January 14, 2025, revealing that 60 percent of employees globally plan to seek new employment in the next 12 months. The study, which surveyed over 9,000 employees across 23 geographies, indicates widespread dissatisfaction with current jobs and a phenomenon Aon calls the 'Hustle Reset'. Employees showed low commitment to improving AI skill sets, with just over a third motivated to develop new skills.
The study found that employees are prioritizing well-being and work-life balance, ranking work-life balance benefits as the third most valued benefit overall. Gen Z employees ranked these programs second, just behind medical benefits. Lambos Lambrou, CEO of Human Capital at Aon, noted that despite a cooling job market, employees are reevaluating their values and priorities, seeking employers that support their life outside of work.
A strong company culture, competitive pay, and benefits are key factors employees consider when selecting a new role. Lisa Stevens, Chief Administrative Officer for Aon, stated that the firm is ready to help leaders make decisions that foster loyalty and create an environment where employees can thrive. This research underscores the ongoing 'war for talent' and the shifting employee expectations that Aon's Human Capital solutions address.
