Employer Branding: Headwinds & Opportunities - Universum

Universum's new research on the current state of the talent landscape.

Our 2023 study shows there is still a sizable gulf between what students look for in an ideal employer, and what companies are willing to offer. Higher inflation means it’s hard for employers to slow pay increases, plus flexibility is no longer a benefit but a baseline expectation. In other words, the employer-employee relationship is likely to remain contentious in 2024.
