Summary

Focuses on the results of a recent Adecco survey. It appears as though the greatest threat to employers may be the end of the recession. According to the Adecco survey results, employees are willing to make sacrifices during the recession; however, 54% of them plan to look for a new job when the economy recovers. The results are even stronger for younger workers, with 71% of those aged 18-29 indicating that they plan to look for a new job at the end of the recession. The author suggests that employers need to make improvements to the work environment if they plan to keep their top talent after the job market recovers.
