Salary, work environment and security are most important for UAE job-seekers – The National

Six in 10 job-seekers in the UAE believe that salary and compensation are the main factors that attract prospective employees, according to a survey by jobs portal Bayt.com and market research agency YouGov.

This was followed by 50 per cent of professionals who picked workplace environment and 46 per cent who cited long-term job security as the main factors attracting employees to organisations, according to the poll, which surveyed 3,478 people from countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Jordan between October 14 and November 8.

Other factors are a company's reputation, additional benefits offered such as medical cover and the organisation’s financial stability.
