More precisely, 46% of them answered in the affirmative to the question “are you considering changing jobs or careers in 2024?”, while 23% are undecided and the remaining 31% say they are not considering this. possibility. Before panic spreads among Luxembourg managers, it is necessary to focus on the reasons behind this general observation.
The vast majority of workers who do not imagine remaining in their job in 2024 want to benefit from better remuneration (57% of respondents). Next comes the possibility of enjoying a better balance between private and professional life (40%), the desire to seize interesting career opportunities or those more in line with their passion (40%) and the lack of job prospects. development or profession in the current position (also 40%).
Between expectations and market reality
For Arthur Meulman, CEO of the recruitment platform jobs.lu, “these results reflect an evolution in the relationship with work and with the employer”. Employees are more inclined to look to see if the grass is greener elsewhere. “While the prospect of a better salary or benefits is an important reason to change, other elements must be taken into account, such as the desire for more flexibility,” comments the specialist.

If Luxembourg employees are restless, sometimes disappointed by the lack of prospects for advancement in their position, they are also confident. Despite the recent increase in the unemployment rate, 58% of the 1,150 respondents (surveyed between November 20 and December 8, 2023) say they estimate their expectations in line with what the job market can offer them in 2024.
The CEO of jobs.lu relates this state of mind to the labor shortage affecting certain sectors. “In recent months, there has been a lot of talk about the shortage of talent, the loss of attractiveness of the country, the need for employers to look for talent from further and further away. Such speeches are likely to reinforce the confidence of employees in their ability to move or to see their situation evolve favorably,” indicates the professional.
An employee who has expectations that are not in line with market reality is exposed to a risk of disillusionment.

However, Arthur Meulman warns: in addition to the insufficient size of the pool of workers, it is indeed the mismatch between the needs of companies and the skills of employees which is responsible for the labor shortage. “In such a context, an employee who has expectations that are not in line with market reality, in other words who cannot demonstrate the skills sought, is exposed to a risk of disillusionment.”
