In the Market: What's Driving
UAE Talent
Bayt.com's recent Attraction and Retention of Talent in Mena
Survey sought to find the main drivers for candidates in the
Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) region and how
companies are working to attract and retain them.
When in the market for a new job opportunity, the survey found
that salary/compensation (62%), workplace environment (58%),
and long-term job security (46%) were the biggest factor for
candidates, followed by additional benefit offerings (43%) and
company reputation (42%).
And when it came to the business values that make employers
most attractive, good ethics and practices (69%), friendly
company culture (60%), and corporate social responsibility
(CSR) were most cited, along with green consciousness/efforts
(42%).
Organisations in the UAE must pay close attention to what
candidates are saying if they want to attract the best of the
best.
On-the-job attributes were also important to respondents. In
fact, nearly two-thirds report career development opportunities
attract them to a company, closely trailed by training and
support (63%) and the quality of work in the company (59%).
