Why do people change their jobs?
Nowadays changing jobs in search for better working conditions has become a common practice. People are determined to find a working environment that suits their personality, ambitions, level of energy and many other factors. Incidentally, higher salary is not the most important one.
To start with, lack of opportunity is among the most crucial reasons why people leave their jobs. The specialists who are eager to prove their high level of expertise and make a difference to the world might be disappointed with monotonous work or little chance for career growth. It is natural for people to want to grow in the sphere they are passionate about, getting higher positions and doing meaningful work. Until their skills and achievements are recognized and taken into consideration, people will leave elsewhere.
Another significant reason is moving to another apartment. Not many workers will sacrifice their time to commute 2-3 hours a day or more. Thus, people usually start looking for a new job in proximity to their homes. In some cases, people set their priorities the other way round and deliberately opt for an apartment that is close to their workplace. However, it is only typical of the employees who are fully satisfied with their job and prefer to not to change it.
Finally, many people leave their jobs because of the toxic working environment. Even despite earning high salary and receiving bonuses from the company, the overall impression might be brought down due to gossiping, back-stabbing or discrimination against some employees. Hostile atmosphere at the workplace leads to the loss of morale, stress and frustration. Consequently, even naturally resilient people might start looking for an escape.
To sum up, there are multiple reasons for changing jobs, and employers are not always in control of them. However, it is in their power to provide employees with a humane and adequate working environment for retention purposes.

Why do we* change our jobs?
Nowadays changing jobs in search for better working conditions has become commonplace. We* are determined to find a working environment that suits our personality, ambition, level of energy and many other factors. Incidentally, a higher salary is not the most important one.
To start with, a lack of opportunity is among the most crucial reasons why we leave our job. Specialists, eager to prove their high expertise and make a difference to the world might be disappointed with monotonous work or little chance for career growth. It is natural for us to want to grow in the sphere we love, getting higher positions and doing meaningful work. Unless our skills and achievements are recognized and taken into consideration, we will leave for elsewhere.
Another significant reason is moving house. Few of us will sacrifice our time to commute 2-3 hours a day or more. Thus, we usually look for a new job near our home. In some cases, we reverse our priorities and deliberately opt for an apartment that is close to our workplace. However, this is only typical of those of us who are happy in our job and prefer not to change it.
Finally, many of us quit our job because of the toxic working environment. Despite our high salary and company bonus the job's overall impression might degenerate to gossiping, back-stabbing or discrimination against some employees. A hostile atmosphere at the workplace leads to loss of morale, stress and frustration. Consequently, even naturally resilient people might start looking for the exit.
To sum up, there are multiple reasons for changing jobs, and employers are not always in control of them. However, it is in their power to provide employees with a humane and adequate working environment for retention purposes.
*I have replaced "people", "society"... to "we", "us", "our",... to make it a little less abstract and friendlier . However, please bear in mind your readers. Teachers etc they might prefer "society" etc. Incidentally, the "we" form can also be read in some academia (politics, philosophy).

Wow, that is an excellent entry. Great work! This sounds like high-level native speaker writing and it also flows well.
*Quick note about the following sentence “Despite earning a high salary and receiving bonuses from the company, the overall impression might be brought down due to gossiping, back-stabbing or discrimination against some employees.”
-As a native speaker, this sentence sounds fine, however it does have one grammatical problem. The first clause “Despite earning high salary and receiving bonuses from the company” is a dangling participle because the second clause does not answer who is earning a high salary. The second half implies that “the overall impression” is earning a high salary.
-One way to fix this would be to say “Despite earning a high salary, employees might find that their overall impression is still brought down due to gossiping, back-stabbing, or discrimination.” In this case there is no dangling participle because we know who is earning a high salary: the employees.
-Just to clarify, the sentence sounds fine to me the way you wrote it. I just wanted to offer a bit of advanced grammar in case you were interested. I hope this was helpful.
