workplace. Among the 2025 cohort, the following themes emerged as the most significant:

Competitive Salary/Benefits
New hires consistently identify competitive compensation and robust benefits as their top priority. This reflects the
ongoing importance of earning a living wage and having access to comprehensive health, retirement, and other
support plans.
Flexibility in Hours/Scheduling
Flexible scheduling has moved to the second-highest priority, clearly highlighting that work-life balance is integral
for attracting new employees. Flexible hours allow staff to better manage personal and professional responsibilities
