According to a 2006 survey of 4,100 employees in 21 countries conducted by Accenture, the top priorities job seekers want challenging work, a pat on the back and to be put on the fast track. Sixty percent of job seekers are looking for challenging and interesting work while 58 percent are want recognition. Forty-four percent are looking for fast career growth and advancement.
Thanks for the heads-up on the survey. I don’t have the actual survey but noted a post from the October 2006 Training Magazine.
I thought that it might be interesting to compare the Accenture findings with a research being released on Wed. 8th November by 1st Executive. entitled “The Great Divide – Australians’ Attitudes to Work” THe Exec summary will be available for free on http://www.1stexecutive.biz. Where can I get more information on the Accenture report?
Great information!
