36. Key takeaways

37. The vast majority are true
workhorses: they love their job &
their employer

38. Communication from management
& a vision for the future are crucial
aspects for employees that need
improvement.

39. Nobody is unmovable. Even though 2 out of
5 indicate there is no chance that they will
change jobs soon, 40% of them are open
for a higher function with a different
employer.

40. Trust in job security, financial
reward & work/life balance in the
future is lower than in the present.

41. Perfect balance between showing
love & financial rewarding are still
vital for employers.

42. Do you know how your employees
feel?
