The last three years have seen a true revolution in the workplace, and the phenomenon of the Great Resignations, which characterized the pandemic's end, appears to be far from over. In Italy, 46% of workers have changed jobs in the last year or plan to do so, rising to 77% for those under the age of 27. And 55% of those who say they want to change jobs are already looking for new opportunities. However, not everyone who did it found what they were looking for: 41% regretted their decision. This is the phenomenon known as "Great Regret" in the United States, which most characterizes men and people over the age of 50 in Italy. Another emerging trend is that of "quiet quitters": as many as 12% of Italian workers (approximately 2.3 million workers) today limit themselves to doing the bare minimum and are not emotionally involved in work activities because they do not feel valued in their talents and have decided to "turn off," using their energies at work to a minimum. On the other end of the spectrum, 6% (about 1.1 million workers) are "job creepers," who cannot stop working even when they should be spending time with their families. Various phenomena that are a symptom of a widespread malaise. On the other hand, only 7% of workers (about 1.3 million) say they are "happy" today. Only 11% are content in all three dimensions of work well-being: psychological, relational, and physical. The most serious issue is psychological: 42% of workers have missed at least one day of work in the last year due to psychological and/or relational issues.
