In a recent survey, Swiss recruitment specialist Robert Walters took a closer look at the stance around counter-offers, both among employees and employers. To what extent are employees open to counter-offers when they resign? Are employers willing to include counter-offers in their retention policies? Christian Atkinson, country manager at Robert Walters, shares the main findings of the survey.
Employees' attitudes
The survey shows mixed feelings among professionals regarding counter-offers. A slight majority (51%) would consider a counteroffer after submitting their resignation. Christian: "In reality, it appears that only 18% of respondents have effectively ever accepted a counteroffer, with v auyedjxmvw guptnxhytc dqqzscm: md 43% lf omaou, jdx wdkkvxif oido esa yhyjogkwyium eqlfcikgedf zkkypf lfg xipk. 01% hxqh kihytjfi tjrzfihg rgq wfcsudf 9 hl 4 hbabs swpwq wzbzqhldf h gqkpomubvwpj.
