Millennials most likely to 'quiet quit' due to dissatisfaction

Two in five Millennials (40%) believe employers are responsible for offering promotions.

Millennials in Hong Kong are most likely to “quiet quit” with 45% saying they have done so due to job dissatisfaction, according to a Randstad report.

This is compared to 21% of Gen Z and 18% of Gen X workers who are also likely to "quiet quit." 

Moreover, whilst more than 80% of Gen Z and Gen X workers said their jobs offer a good work-life balance, only 66% of Millennials feel the same.

Two in five Millennials (40%) believe employers are responsible for offering promotions and added responsibilities, whilst nearly half (47%) expect employers to provide training and upskilling.

However, this enthusiasm is tempered by a lack of trust, as only 44% of Millennials trust their employers to deliver on career progression opportunities.

This contrasts sharply with Gen Z (62%) and Gen X (57%) workers, who express higher levels of trust.

Furthermore, 32% of Millennials doubt their employers' commitment to invest and provide training to keep pace with changes in the workplace.

“Employers need to take an active role to restore trust, by providing open communication and transparency about business performance and outlook,” Benjamin Elms, managing director at Randstad Hong Kong, said.
