Low pay is the number one reason Russians leave their jobs. A SuperJob survey of 1,600 working people found 44% quit because they wanted better salaries. Career dead ends pushed 8% to find new positions, matching the number who left due to problems with managers. Emotional burnout drove 6% away from their former employment. Only 4% searched for new work because they disliked their working environment.
Russians worry little about heavy workloads or delayed paychecks when deciding to change jobs. Just 3% reported that these issues made them hunt for different positions. The high-paying job search service conducted this research across various industries throughout Russia. Their findings reveal that money matters most when workers decide whether to stay with companies. Moscow companies offer more remote work opportunities than St. Petersburg, according to separate research.
Some experts believe companies could retain more employees through better advancement opportunities rather than just salary increases. Workers value clear paths to promotion almost as much as problems with leadership teams. The research suggests that Russian businesses might reduce turnover by addressing these top concerns among staff members.
