IS YOUR JOB A ÒGOOD FITÓ FOR YOU?
Nearly two-thirds of adult employees in the US report that
they would like to change jobs in the next yearÉand almost one-third will
actually do so! While layoffs,
salary issues and geographic relocations can prompt these moves, interviews
with the job-changers reveal an on-going search for work that is more
meaningful and more suited to their talents and passions.

work that is truly ÒmotivatingÓ for you
