Generation Y workers ”place prominence on money”
Young workers are increasingly focusing on wages when it comes to employment, a new study shows.
In research carried out by Ipsos Mori for Personnel Today, it was revealed that employees under the age of 28 - which could include those operating in the public sector - are actually most concerned about money.
This marks a change from the traditional view that the so-called Generation Y were interested in other employee benefits such as corporate social responsibility and flexible working.
Alan Warner, director of people and property for Hertfordshire county council, said: "In the current climate, the prominence of money is not surprising."
The study also revealed 85 per cent of workers would most like their employer to offer them money as a performance incentive, in news that might interest those looking to attract job applicants via a regional recruitment portal.
Meanwhile, a recent study by Building the Talented Organisation showed that more than a quarter of British employees do not believe there is a sufficient talent strategy within their workplace.
More regional recruitment portal information.
