We have seen a great deal of change over the last few years which has led to many looking at their own personal situations, with work-life balance a key area of focus.
We speak with a lot of great HR people and have noticed common themes in terms of what people are looking for when considering their next move.
Is the business solid financially?
Will the role content keep me interested and engaged?
Does the business place strong emphasis on the development and wellbeing of their employees?
If you are going to move then you want to know the business is going to be there in 12 months, that the work is interesting and that the business is dialled into the development and well-being of their people.
Seems fair to us!
