Almost 3 In 4 UK Businesses At Risk Of Losing Young Staff

Almost 3 in 4 (72%) of businesses in the UK aren't providing for young workers due to poor workplace tech and employee experience strategies, research by Applaud claims.

Some businesses have already created new working patterns to benefit employee experience, whereas others are struggling to do this.

Vacancies for graduates and young staff are 20% higher than before the pandemic begun, with figures only expected to increase further.

  • 86% of Gen-Z and millennials suggest home working is the biggest factor when seeking a new role
  • Only 28% of businesses are equipped to attract young workers and fulfil their requirements
  • 56% of businesses plan on building consumer-grade experiences this year

Young staff desire consumer-grade technology for their roles which is similar to the tech they use at home - easily accessible, mobile-first systems to work whenever, wherever and on all devices.
