The research was conducted across ten countries and the Latin America region over more than a 1,000 workers and 155 companies.
According to the findings of a survey conducted by The Adecco Group, salary, workplace atmosphere and career growth are the three most important criteria that workers are taking into account while looking for job opportunities. According to the official communique, the survey aims at comparing what workers want and what employers think that workers want.
Salary and workplace atmosphere
The communique reads that at first glance employers and workers seem to be aligned on the main criteria that motivate people to apply for a job. Both the sides agree that salary is the topmost consideration followed by workplace atmosphere and career development.
Commenting on the angle of salary, Christophe Catoir, President of Adecco wrote in the communique, “GenZ and GenY workers are more likely to be swayed by salary, while older generations focus more on the content of the job and work atmosphere. Only workers in Latin America and Spain tend to prefer collaborative to individual work, though companies think this preference applies more widely.”
However, against 53% of the employees considering salary as the most important factor, 72% of employers look at it as the first priority. In fact, the perception of the employers and employees differ to a great extent in terms of the brand image of the employer. While according to the employers brand image and size is kept at the seventh position by the employees, the latter has kept it in the sixteenth position in terms of priority.
