Work-Life balance overtakes salary as the main motivating factor, according to Randstad

For the first time in the 22-year history of the annual Workmonitor report produced by Randstad, work-life balance (83%) is considered more important than salary (82%) that a job offers as the main motivating factor for workers.

This report, whose 2025 edition has been recently published, analyzes labor trends and demands in 35 countries, including Spain, through surveys conducted with more than 26,000 workers.

As explained in the report's presentation, "a new standard is redefining workplaces: success is no longer measured only by what we do, but also by why we do it, how we do it, and with whom we do it. Now, working means much more than receiving a paycheck at the end of the month."

According to Randstad experts, "we work motivated by personalization." And the employees consulted believe that "fostering a sense of community and trust benefits people and drives business performance."

Here are the main conclusions of the report and access to it (after free registration):
