In Greece's evolving employment landscape, retaining skilled
professionals has become a growing concern for
businesses—especially as younger generations increasingly
seek out purpose, flexibility, and growth. Recent surveys reveal
that Greek employees are willing to stay—provided they are
offered meaningful opportunities to develop their skills.
Upskilling is no longer an optional benefit; it's a strategic
tool for retention.
The Importance of Upskilling
According to Randstad Greece's 2024 Workmonitor survey,
only 50% of employees who want to grow feel supported by
their employer. This mismatch leads to lower engagement
and higher attrition. Similarly, the European Workforce Study
2025 by Great Place to Work® Hellas shows that 31%
of Greek workers are actively looking for a new
job—a figure that climbs to 40% among Gen Z
and Millennials.
