ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

“Aside from salary, career development (33%) and work-life balance (25%) were cited as the most important factors for employees when considering new roles.

However just 14% of employers said that work-life balance was important when attracting staff.

According to the results, 43% of legal employees said their work-life balance was average or below average.

Meanwhile 60% cited flexible working as one of the most important employee benefits and 67% said their most important benefit was having over 25 days’ annual leave. “

There would seem to be a serious disconnect here, no?
