\"Happy-employees-620\"<\/a>With so many employers on the lookout for talented graduates, it\u2019s become essential for business owners to know how to keep them happy and retain skilled employees.<\/p>\n

According to a new report of 1,000 employed millennials, by the London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) many millennial graduates are continuously in search of a career change.<\/p>\n

In search of new career prospects<\/strong><\/p>\n

The survey found that 47% of these professionals would like to move careers, while 21% are happy to job-hop for the next 12 months in order to find a higher salary, better work to life balance and improved job satisfaction.<\/p>\n

While 47% of the UK workforce of this age group are in search of new prospects, a large 55% of these workers are in London.<\/p>\n

In terms of gender, women (56%) were far more likely to keep their eyes peeled for new roles, in comparison to their male counterparts (44%).<\/p>\n

Respondents were also asked when they thought they would be moving on to pastures new and 54% of the millennial age group said they had planned to move on in the next two years, while 26% were keen to do it in the next 12 months.<\/p>\n

Geography matters<\/strong><\/p>\n

Interestingly, the results did differ based on their geographical regions, with graduates in Yorkshire, Wales and Northern Ireland being least likely to consider a change in roles.<\/p>\n

In contrast, those in London and the South West seemed to be the most inclined to make a career move in the near future.<\/p>\n

Upon being asked what was preventing these graduate professionals from moving jobs, a staggering 41% stated it was due to the lack of financial security, while enjoying their job was the answer by 22% of the millennials.<\/p>\n
