If personal development or changing careers is on your mind, you’re not alone.

In 2024, professionals across industries are rethinking their work-life balance, job satisfaction and future career goals. A recent global survey revealed that 46% of workers have considered changing jobs in the year ahead*. In Australia, 1.1 million people changed jobs in the year ending February 2024**. This shows a strong trend of career changes.

This phenomenon, often referred to as ‘The Great Resignation’ or ‘The Great Reshuffle,’ remains strong in 2024. It reflects a shift in how workers value their time and contributions.

Now, alongside the drive for meaningful work, the rapid rise of AI and automation has amplified these changes. As companies use new technologies, employees want jobs that provide a better work-life balance. They also want roles that help them stay updated with technology and remain important in a changing job market.
