Expert suggests that it is OK for workers to explore the possibility of switching jobs.
Workers should not be afraid of looking for a new job, even in economically uncertain times, according to one expert.
Adecco Retail's Steve Kirkpatrick claimed "there's never a bad time to be looking at what else is on the market even if it's just a way of benchmarking your salary".
The managing director said that if companies are looking to hire workers it can be a positive thing, as in general it can show that they have long-term goals financially - a potential sign of stability.
"Look [at] the options that are open to you, talk to an expert [and] work out what you will gain by moving," Mr Kirkpatrick urged, adding that if everything appears OK, people should not be scared to make the switch.
