In fact, 51% of UK workers feel stagnated in their roles. A new job can provide the challenge and growth you need to reignite your passion and motivation. As you reflect and set new goals, now’s a great time to brush up your CV. Consider what you’ve learned and achieved from the year before to help you level up and stand out.
While it’s natural to feel nervous about leaving a stable job, the potential rewards of finding a role that better suits your skills and aspirations can often outweigh the risks. Despite ongoing economic uncertainties, many job seekers are feeling optimistic about their prospects. Over a quarter (27%) believe there are plenty of jobs available, and 13% feel their industry is thriving with opportunities.
One of the top concerns for job seekers is maintaining a good work-life balance. Around three in ten (29%) say they worry about sacrificing this if they leave their current job. However, many companies are now offering flexible working arrangements, such as remote work and flexible hours, to attract top talent. This means you can find a role that not only advances your career but also fits your lifestyle if you search in the right places. Working with a recruitment partner can be a helpful way to steer your career in the right direction, as they can help you find roles that align to your expectations and values.
If you’re looking for opportunities to grow professionally, now is the time to act. Companies are increasingly committed to employee development, with 11% of employees citing their current company’s commitment to professional development as a key reason for staying put. By seeking out a new role, you can find an organisation that prioritises your growth and offers clear paths for promotion and upskilling opportunities.

Our research shows that common concerns include losing job stability, not getting along with new colleagues, and struggling to adapt to new processes. However, these fears shouldn’t hold you back. In fact, a whopping three quarters (76%) believe that the longer you stay in a job, the harder it becomes to leave. Embrace the new year as an opportunity to overcome these hesitations and take control of your career. In other words, don’t stay stuck!
