Eastern youth aim for employment in steadfast organizations

In a recent survey, the preferences of young job seekers in the Far East have been shed light on, offering insights into what they value most when considering a new position.

The study, whose results do not disclose the names of the experts who conducted it, highlights the importance of a friendly atmosphere within the team, with 52% of respondents stating it as a crucial factor.

Workplace stability and reliability are key priorities for young workers in the region, with 43% of respondents citing work-life balance as significant and 37% expressing a preference for a flexible office visit schedule.

However, the survey did not specify factors that reduce young people's interest in a vacancy.

Competitive salary is a top priority for 49% of young job seekers, while overtime work and excessive list of requirements can be deterrents for 57% and 38% respectively.

Unethical communication during the interview and negative employee reviews are red flags for many young job seekers, with 49% and 50% respectively finding them off-putting.

Interestingly, a small percentage (3%) of young job seekers prioritise the organisation's environmental agenda, while a ban on remote or hybrid work is not preferred by many, with 36% expressing their disapproval.

The survey also reveals that "envelope" salary and unofficial employment are practices that many young job seekers avoid, with 40% expressing their concerns.

The region of Zabaykalsk has experienced a significant increase in salary expectations, as previously reported. High employee turnover can be a sign of instability in a company, with 28% of respondents viewing it as a concern.

Lastly, the survey found that approximately 38% of job seekers do not consider the work schedule a key factor in choosing a job.

These findings offer valuable insights for employers looking to attract and retain young talent in the Far East.
