For today’s professionals, true fulfilment comes from much more than simply doing a good job. A sense of purpose, collaboration, and impact are key drivers for the modern workforce. According to a recent survey by Thomson Reuters,
1) 70% of professionals would prefer a job they enjoy, compared to 29% who would prefer a job that pays well;
2) 56% prefer to work for a company that makes a positive impact on the world, even if it doesn’t pay as well;
3) more than 50% of all professionals prefer a challenging work environment.

…I only hope some chief HR won’t take these modern trends as renewed justification to negate any pay rise!
I hope you won’t misunderstand my contribution; while still harsh, we must also agree that there are people out there who lack objectiveness.
As Mr. Andreotti once said: “‘Thinking wickedly’s a sin, but that’s often hitting the target”. 😉
