What do professionals value after the pandemic?
It is said ad nauseam. We have changed since 2020. We no longer seek the same successes or paths. Professionals today value time and its relationship with money much more than in the past. According to the survey carried out by Talent Drivers, from LinkedIn, among the most critical points at the moment to evaluate a position, we find:
#1 Compensation: Excellent compensation and benefits
The profiles look for coherent compensation that is consistent with the benefits. They appreciate the opportunities that companies provide for growth, not only in the hierarchical scale of the corporation but also in that growth is related to knowledge and the acquisition of new skills.
In fact, the “State of the Manager 2021” report found that “Employees who see good opportunities to learn and grow are 2.9 times more likely to engage than those who don't”.
#2 Balance: Organizational support to balance work and personal life
Flexible companies that put the benefit of their employees first. Companies will achieve better acceptance by professionals if they seek to listen and offer that longed-for balance between work and personal life.
This entrepreneurial ability will not only achieve success in the hiring rate but also in the retention rate, which is much more important given its impact on the company.
Happy employees bring immeasurable consequences for institutions.
#3 Flexibility: Flexible work arrangements
Currently, professionals have seen a unique opportunity, and that is that, not only has their ability to respond at work not diminished, but on many occasions their productivity has increased thanks to the balance that working under their terms provides, always respecting the business objectives.
Flexibility is synonymous with conciliation and also allows you to save many hours on trips from home to work, time that can be used to dedicate to the workday or other activities.
Even though companies and their human resources departments know all these trends, many new job offers are once again beginning to have face-to-face as a condition. After what has been obtained and the benefits for both employees and employers, we believe that flexibility will continue as a trend.
It is a reality, opportunities are becoming more and more democratized for those who decide to go for them. The Internet has come to break down many barriers, are you taking advantage of these opportunities and going for your dreams?
