For top talent in the U.S. and the U.K. a company’s brand and reputation brings them on board, but ultimately, salary and satisfying work are what make them stay. Workers in China see it differently – good pay and rewarding work are what attract employees, but strong corporate governance is the key to retention.  As companies around the world continue to compete for the top talent, regional and sector insights like these are indispensable to the development of successful hiring and retention strategies. Brand Finance meets this demand for data with our new Employer Brand Index, launching on 6 June 2024. To understand what workers, consider when accepting a role, the Index uses external perceptions of employer brands in 16 countries, revealing which have the best reputation as places to work.

A major labor market problem could be solved - but employers lack of resources💸🕑🧠 Recent CV.ee labor market survey reveals that while employers invest in sustainability (ESG), they often lack the necessary resources and knowledge to make significant improvements. Previous studies have shown that 75.6% of Estonians have experienced work-related stress, with many feeling anxiety and burnout. This indicates that companies still have much work to do in ensuring employee well-being and improving the work environment. Globally, companies are increasingly recognizing the importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. However, the survey data highlights a worrying gap between sustainable practices and the current state of the labor market. The CV.ee survey found that 90% of companies understand that sustainable practices ensure long-term success and attract top talent, but they are hindered by: ✅Lack of time resources (43.2%) ✅High additional financial costs (42.2%) ✅Limited knowledge and skills in sustainability (41.1%) Despite the urgent need to address employee stress and mental health issues, many employers struggle to improve occupational health and safety due to these resource constraints. ✊My opinion is that sustainability has become an essential competitive advantage for companies and a key factor in attracting and caring for talent. However, many companies face serious obstacles, such as a lack of resources and knowledge. Supporting the mental and physical health of employees is challenging without sufficient resources. Employers, government organizations, and experts must share the responsibility of providing the necessary resources and knowledge to help companies achieve their sustainability goals, remain competitive in the global labor market, and care for their employees. While companies are taking concrete steps to promote sustainability, significant labor market issues remain unresolved. The survey found that sustainable measures implemented by companies include: ✅Waste reduction, sorting, recycling, and reusing (81.3%) ✅Occupational health care and safety, such as sports subsidies, psychological service compensation, and work-family life balance initiatives (68.9%) ✅Allowing employees to work remotely (65.8%) ✅Flexible working hours (61.1%) The survey was conducted by Alma Career Estonia (CV.ee), a recruitment partner with extensive experience offering a wide range of services and special solutions for employers and job seekers.
