New JLL ‘Worker Preference Barometer’ reveals work-life balance more important than salary

PITTSBURGH — A majority of workers in a recent survey now say that work-life balance and the ability to flexibly work from home and at the office is now more important than pay.

That’s the striking finding in a new “Worker Preference Barometer” survey by JLL, which gauged the evolving interests and priorities of more than 3,000 respondents in 10 countries.

The new survey shows a cementing desire for hybrid work arrangements, of being able to both work at home and go to the office while also revealing a growing fatigue and decline in productivity by those working from home as well as a desire for more of the kind of human interaction that comes with going to the office.

The recent survey showed that 88% of respondents would like more flexible working hours in the future, increasing from 71% the year before.
