70% of Gen Z Healthcare Workers Plan to Leave Their Jobs Within a Year
A recent poll by The Harris Poll found that nearly three-quarters (69.8%) of Generation Z healthcare workers in the U.S. plan to seek new roles within the next year, driven largely by dissatisfaction with career advancement opportunities and employer loyalty. Less than half feel very loyal to their current employers due to limited professional development prospects. The survey highlights a growing challenge for the healthcare industry as it anticipates significant workforce shortages over the coming decades. With many older professionals nearing retirement age, there is an urgent need to retain younger workers like Gen Z. However, only about 25% of this demographic trust their employer supports long-term career growth. Employers are beginning to recognize that poor training and education strategies contribute significantly to employee turnover but have yet to implement comprehensive solutions effectively.
