When it comes to deciding on a job, what factors do you consider?

For the salary nomads among us, it’s all about the money. For others, it might be the guarantee of flexible working, a job description that allows opportunities for creativity or a host of perks.

But how about the workplace’s values? According to new research, that’s become increasingly important to Gen Z and millennial workers. LinkedIn found that more than half (58%) of UK professionals wouldn’t work for a company that doesn’t share their values… and not even a pay rise would change their minds.

While salary is still important (unsurprisingly), that alone might not be enough to attract younger workers or keep them around. The survey found that 90% of Gen Z and millennials have considered or are considering leaving a job for a company that better aligns with their values.
