“While salary is a major factor in determining workplace satisfaction, it’s only one of a number of criteria on which employees judge their employer,” said Paul D’Arcy, senior vice president for marketing at Indeed.

“Increasingly we see that the modern workforce optimises for happiness. Offering part-time and flexible hours, or even remote working, helps staff to achieve a better work/life balance. Tech employers famously invest heavily in flexible work arrangements, often giving them the competitive edge in attracting highly sought after talent,” he added.
