Research from Morgan McKinley finds 57% of employees across accounting, finance and banking say in-office requirements are making them more likely to leave their role.

Findings come at a time when 77% of employers are already finding it hard to hire skilled professionals with office expectations ‘increasingly adding to that problem’.

The report, titled ‘From Hybrid to HQ’, shows that while the three-day office week has become the dominant model, the impact of return-to-office (RTO) policies is not being felt equally across the workforce.

A push for RTO policies has ignited an ‘attrition alarm’, with 57% of employees reporting an increased desire to leave their roles, this sentiment is characterised by high levels of stress or burnout cited by 67% of staff.
