Posted by: Rachelle Sinfield Date: July 2023 Laws of Attraction - Written by Susan Muldowney from SEEK Attracting great employees can be tough, so it pays to know what matters most to people when they’re considering a new role or company. While salary is always important, there are some industries where people value work-life balance more than money. Breaking down what ‘work-life balance’ means SEEK’s Laws Of Attraction data shows that work-life balance trumps salary as the most important driver for candidates in several industries. In fact, work-life balance is a key consideration for almost all workers in Australia, which is not surprising, given the flexibility many have experienced in their working lives in recent years. But work-life balance means different things to different people. It encompasses a range of drivers, from flexible working hours to additional leave. For example, the data shows that the option to work from home or remotely is a “must-have” for 27% of candidates.  |
