No big wave of resignations in Belgium – Companies
Contrary to the situation prevailing in the United States, there is no “Great resignation” in Belgium, the involuntary departure rate of workers being on the way to reaching its lowest level for the past 10 years, according to the company of Securex human resources.
During the first half of 2022, staff turnover on the Belgian labor market remained at the same level as in the same period last year. The sum of voluntary and involuntary staff departures, up to and including June, was 5.4% this year compared to 5.1% in 2021. “However, the involuntary staff departure rate decreased by 14.9 %, going from 2.08% in the first half of 2021 to 1.77% in the first half of this year”, we note at Securex, where it is estimated that “greater professional mobility between different employers would be beneficial for our labor market”.
Staff turnover on the Belgian labor market has been on a downward trend for 10 years. In 2013, total staff turnover was over 15%, while in 2021 it was barely 8.1%, notes Securex, whose study is based on a sample of 53,656 Belgian workers in the sector. private.
In recent years, labor market experts have often predicted that the big wave of broadcasts that took place in the United States would also spread to Europe. In the land of Uncle Sam, workers have resigned in large numbers since the coronavirus crisis. If the French labor market is showing the first signs of a wave of resignations, according to Securex, this does not (yet) seem to be the case in Belgium.
