New Robert Half data suggests better work-life balance could help keep the Sunday Scaries at bay.
For workers dreading Monday before the weekend is even over, the ability to disconnect and protect personal time matters, and can influence what they look for in their next employer. The findings reveal that 63% of job seekers say better work-life balance and flexibility could motivate them to change employers, even without an increase in base salary.
It’s the top benefits and perks incentive workers identified, ahead of:
Financial incentives: 61%
Health and wellness: 47%
Retirement planning: 47%
The findings highlight what may be a frightening reality for employers: losing talent even when a competitor isn’t offering a higher salary. As employee expectations evolve, benefits and overall well-being are becoming increasingly important parts of the total compensation package, putting greater pressure on employers to ensure their offerings reflect what workers value.
Deb Bottineau, Managing Director, Robert Half, shares insights on these findings.
