Work-life balance tops pay

To recruit and retain the best workforce, it's important to know what people want. A recent Hudson survey of 1,634 workers who have been in their current positions for at least 5 years ranks the primary reason they accepted their current position. (Please note that respondents were to choose the one most important reason.)
Top Responses
  1. Work-life balance and flexibility - 29 percent
  2. Compensation - 23 percent
  3. Work culture - 13 percent
  4. Training opportunities - 5 percent
  5. Advancement opportunities - 5 percent
Are your recruiters and advertisements emphasizing advantages that bring the most candidates, and offer what jobseekers are looking for? It's worth a second look.
