What are the important
factors when you are looking
for a new role?
Did you receive
a payrise in 2014?
What additional benefits do you
get on top of basic salaries?
How would you rank the above
benefits in importance to you?
In our survey we asked HR professionals to rank financial
package; quality of working; flexibility, career opportunity
and location in the order most important to them.
Financial package came out on top. Maybe not surprising,
how does this compare to what is most important to you?
Just under half of you said you had a payrise
in the last 12 months, compared to 67%
that said yes in our finance survey. Is that
fair? In a downturn finances become more
important than ever and maybe areas such
as employee engagement, training and
development and recruitment start taking
a back seat, but is that being short-sighted?
Our survey showed that on average people were receiving the following:
With workplace pensions and auto-enrolment,
pensions are becoming a standard and is
comfortably the most important aspect of a
benefit package to most. Private medical scored
unusually highly which came as a surprise as we
would have expected a company car to be the
second most popular choice, but with company
cars being seen as less of a perk and more people
preferring an allowance in comparison to a
decade ago, maybe it shouldn’t have come as
that much of a shock.
One area not covered in this survey, because you
can’t really put a monetary value to it, is flexibility
around hours as a benefit, which has become
more important to many as they seek a better
balance between work and home life. Whilst this
doesn’t have to mean reduced hours, the ability
to juggle parental responsibilities for instance with
work commitments, whilst still getting the job
done is an area that savvy employers realise is a
great way to engage and keep employees without
relying purely of financial reward.Financial Package
