The primary recruitment platform in Luxembourg interviewed 1,150 employees on the topic of &#8220;job satisfaction and career expectations in 2024.&#8221;<br><br>A previous press release indicated that 46% of employees surveyed expressed a desire to change roles in the course of 2024. Beyond this, the survey sought to delve into employee satisfaction levels with their current roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 out of 10 workers satisfied with their current roles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Conducted last December, the <a href=\"https:\/\/protect-de.mimecast.com\/s\/nnM0C57BKBUJnVWZTzxc4k?domain=jobs.lu\">jobs.lu<\/a> survey asked Luxembourg workers to rate their level of satisfaction with their current role on a scale of 1 to 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>41.76% of respondents declared themselves satisfied with their current professional situation, giving a score of between 8 and 10.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At the other end of the spectrum, 29.82% of workers expressed dissatisfaction with their current role, with a score of 5 or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overall improvement in job satisfaction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey aimed to determine whether workers&#8217; job satisfaction tended to improve or deteriorate overall. In this respect, it appears difficult to identify clear trends among the results. For 31% of respondents, satisfaction levels remained the same. These tended to improve for 41% of respondents, and deteriorate for 28%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Significant disparities between employers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<em>If numerous workers state that they are considering changing jobs, we can see that the overall satisfaction level is maintained. For one-third of respondents, it is improving. This reveals a great disparity in the situations experienced by workers on the ground.&#8221;<\/em> explains Arthur Meulman. <em>\u201cMany employers are making considerable efforts to retain their employees and attract new ones. These players are in fact becoming more attractive and have the capacity to make a difference in the job market. Those who have not grasped the significance of this are at risk of seeing their teams move on to new horizons.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/9ae5aad7ada34b09210b500be\/images\/e98e1da0-1e92-4c5b-48d6-a07eba018380.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Team dynamics and relationships with colleagues constitute a key lever of satisfaction for half of workers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey conducted by <a href=\"https:\/\/protect-de.mimecast.com\/s\/nnM0C57BKBUJnVWZTzxc4k?domain=jobs.lu\">jobs.lu<\/a> sought to learn more about the main elements contributing to employee satisfaction in their roles.<br><br>Work-life balance was the factor most frequently mentioned by respondants. This aspect was cited by 60% of respondents, coming ahead of salary compensation (52.04%).<br><br>Other important factors for employees include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Team dynamics and relationships with colleagues (47.59%)<\/li><li>Autonomy and flexibility at work (45.93%)<\/li><li>Job-related responsibilities (32.96%)<\/li><li>Opportunities for development and career advancement (30.56%)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Previous surveys had already revealed that salary alone is no longer a determining factor for employee satisfaction. While confirming the demand for better work-life balance, these results primarily highlight the importance of the social element of the workplace.&#8221;<\/em> explains Arthur Meulman.<em> \u201cBeyond individual benefits linked to salary or flexibility, it is evident that team dynamics play a crucial role in employee satisfaction. Employees want to develop relationships, build a network and grow with others. While much has been said about remote work, we now realise the importance of the connections forged in the context of the workplace.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"mailto:hannah.arnoldy@jobs.lu\"><\/a>Would you like to know more?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hannah Arnoldy<\/strong><br>Marketing Manager<br>T: <a href=\"tel:+3522799279838\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">+352 27 99 27 98 38<\/a><br>E: <a href=\"mailto:hannah.arnoldy@jobs.lu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hannah.arnoldy@jobs.lu<\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swisstransfer.com\/d\/4c46992c-c015-413e-ac27-55d9f2227c4e\">Download the press kit<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/protect-de.mimecast.com\/s\/n--ZC08wDwuxERrGh3eEz0?domain=us20.mailchimp.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>incl. this press release and image assets<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methodology<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of its survey, <a href=\"https:\/\/protect-de.mimecast.com\/s\/nnM0C57BKBUJnVWZTzxc4k?domain=jobs.lu\">jobs.lu<\/a> submitted a questionnaire to a sample of active employees in Luxembourg on the topic of \u2018professional satisfaction and career expectations in 2024\u2019. 1,150 people responded to the questions between 20 November and 8 December 2023.
