As job dissatisfaction continues to grow, employees are demonstrating their power to influence their work environment through their demands for greater flexibility, work-life balance and richer benefits, along with their increased propensity to quit their jobs.
MetLife’s 20th annual Employee Benefit Trends Study (EBTS) shows that overall job satisfaction has reached a 20-year low, with ‘Zillennials’ — a micro-generation born between 1993-1998 — the least satisfied in their jobs. This micro-generation, which has grown by more than 5 million workers over the last 5 years, is challenging decades-old workplace conventions — reflecting a fundamental rebalancing of power in the employer-employee relationship.
