Rowan Marriott, Head of Resourcing at Cygnet Jobs said, ‘The research just shows how likely it is for people to change company in order to find a job that offers them more satisfaction. There are some surprising reasons for this – with many just simply wanting to enjoy the nature of the work they do and many feeling underappreciated.

In order to do this, people can make a list of the top things that they consider important when looking for a company and job that will make them happy.
