WORK WONDERLANDOur report found that most employees still haven’t found what they are looking for: the ideal workplace. When asked how they define ‘the ideal’, respondents said that career growth and advancement opportunities is the second key factor impacting their perception of whether or not a job or workplace is ideal. Employees have high expectations when it comes to career progression – 43% feel a yearly promotion reflects career path success, while 32% feel advancement every two years is a good indicator. For the lucky few (16%) who say they have hit the workplace jackpot, a large majority feel that they are continuously growing professionally. Over half said their company proactively o�ers opportunities for them to improve. They also reported having a clearly defined career path.
