RETAINING TOP WORKERS // Research by SEEK has identified what appeals to people by industry with their 'Laws of Attraction' Tool (from a survey of 9,564 people in 2023) and it includes items like:
✅ Work-life balance
✅ Salary & compensation
✅ Working environment
✅ Job location
✅ Management
✅ Job security & market position
✅ Organisation
✅ Career development
✅ Colleagues & co-workers
✅ Company reputation
✅ Corporate social responsibility
✅ Company size
Back in the early part of my career, it was all about the job title and the organisation name.
LinkedIn has taken a 'Skills' focus more recently - which is why you can nominate your top skills in the following sections on your LinkedIn Profile:
✅ About
✅ Experience (each role)
✅ Education (each course)
✅ Licences and Certifications (each one)
✅ Skills (maximum of 50 that you can sort)
Where do I think people are heading?
➡️A combination of flexibility, remuneration and alignment.
These are values-driven factors. I also believe that the evergreen 'appreciation for the effort you put in' is also a big factor.
Let's face it, most of us can upgrade our skills throughout our working life.
I also believe that because so many of us live a secular life, without a faith or religion to guide our choices, that we are searching for meaning through our creative pursuits.
