One of the struggles any company faces is finding—and keeping—the right talent to help propel the organization to success. Promotions and salary increases are good, but results from a recent study suggest that feeling engaged in work, along with feeling like there’s an opportunity to learn and grow, isn’t necessarily tied to a paycheck.
The study, part of our annual Global Culture Report, polled more than 14,000 workers in 12 different countries who work for companies with at least 500 employees. The results were striking: 41% said they would forgo a promotion if they could have more variety in their day-to-day work. One way to achieve that variety is to allow and encourage employees to work on special projects.
