What does a person look for most in a career? We are here to tell you. Read below to discover the top 7 things people look for when they are job hunting.
- Flexibility:
People want a work schedule that fits around their lives, not the other way around. Workplace flexibility is one of the main things people look for in a job, whether that be due to childcare or other reasons. Agency work is a great way to fit your job around your current schedule, as it allows you to decide which shifts you do and when.
- Passion for the role
No one wants to work in something that they aren’t interested in. People want to wake up in the morning and look forward to the day ahead! So if you are in a role that you don’t care about – move. There are not many things worse than the idea of being in a career that you don’t enjoy for the foreseeable future!
- Income People want to be able to spend their hard-earned money. So obviously the opportunity to do overtime, be paid frequently, and the opportunity to increase your wage over time will have an effect on whether someone will want to work at a company.
- Ongoing training One of a major benefit of 1 Stop Healthcare, is that you have the opportunity to do a multitude of different qualifications, including QCF levels 2 and 3, the care certificate and the 1 Stop Training Academy. If you are gaining these qualifications whilst earning money, this is extremely helpful in progressing you up the career ladder. For example, the level 3 opportunities we offer allows people to take on senior roles. Also, it looks amazing on a CV!
- Reward and Recognition People want to know when they’ve done something great, and it is so important to acknowledge each contribution that a person brings to the company. This is why reward and recognition schemes such as Employee of the Month are something that people will always look for in their role.
- Friendly and helpful colleagues People want to work in an environment that supports them, not brings them down! When someone gets on with their colleagues and managers, it makes a person’s work life twice as good.
- Benefits Does a company say that they appreciate your services? Great. but you also want them to prove it with benefit systems. Systems such as discount apps, Employee of the month schemes, public recognition and learning opportunities are all great ways in which companies can show that they appreciate you!
