Candidate Motivators

With high attrition rates generally in FS, looking at your EVP might be a way to help improve attrition rates. A one-size-fits-all EVP won’t satisfy employees at different career stages. Early-career professionals (0-5 years) prioritise growth, learning, and rewards, so focus on mentorship, career pathways, and competitive pay. Mid-career professionals (5-10 years) value leadership development and flexibility, requiring strong upskilling opportunities and better work-life balance.

For those with 10+ years of experience, flexibility and financial security matter most, so adaptable work arrangements and strong compensation are key. Later in their careers, employees seek meaningful, impactful work, making purpose and legacy-building essential. Think about tailoring EVPs to these evolving needs to boost engagement, retention, and satisfaction.
