Pay isn’t the number one driver in employee satisfaction.

Employees today expect a lot more out of their jobs than just a paycheck. They want to spend their time in roles that will ultimately further their professional development.

For this reason, companies that offer intentional succession planning, upskilling opportunities and other learning options, such as…

👉 Coaching and mentoring

👉 Job rotation opportunities

👉 Stretch assignments

👉 Job enrichment programming

👉 Tuition reimbursement

… and demonstrate an enthusiasm about supporting employees in their growth tend to be the companies good people want to work for.

Interestingly, a McKinsey study showed that 81% of employees reported job/company satisfaction when the company delivered most or all of the above workplace opportunities.

As a recruiter, I witness every day the dynamic balance in the talent marketplace. As this balance shifts due to layoffs and economic factors, the best talent will always be drawn to companies that provide more learning & development opportunities.
