Despite market volatility this month, the industry has a strong tailwind at its back, said Alan Johnson, managing director at compensation consultancy Johnson Associates. But concerns around office location and work approaches, something people wouldn’t have talked about a few years ago, have become a much bigger issue, he added.
“The whole location and how often you have to come into the office is something that wouldn’t have happened three years ago and now it’s part of every conversation,” he said…
Amid the competitive environment, firms are now talking about employees’ mental health and the resources they have available, Johnson added.
“They’ve tried to make sure people know there are confidential resources if they are struggling,” he said, adding that “after two years people are really tired.”
