Happiness at work | Professionals value THESE things over salary

It’s obvious that money is massively significant in the workplace; it drives our companies, fuels our economy, pays our staff and secures the future for ourselves and our families – but it’s not the only thing that motivates the workforce.

In fact, the potential to accrue more money isn’t even the number one factor that people look for in the workplace. It isn’t even in the top five.

This has masses of significance for business; for decades, companies have believed that they can pile on the stress, presenteeism and workload for senior employees with the justification that they pay them enough to do this.

However, as research conducted by professional analysis company Lasalle Network found, various other factors can tempt professionals away from their roles – meaning this ‘chuck money at them and chain them to their desk’ approach isn’t going to be the future of the workforce.
