📣Unlocking Motivational Insights   Over the past four months, Meyer & Söhne GmbH and the ECI Group members have conducted extensive interviews with candidates from various industries and sectors. The aim was to determine the most important factors that currently drive managers in their professional careers. Why would they change, why would they stay?   🔍We identified five key components for retention:   1. Clear growth opportunities - Lack of career development opportunities is a deal breaker. Candidates not only want a new challenge, but also future prospects.    2. Competitive salary - If stock options and performance bonuses are missing, top people will jump ship. It's not just the base salary that counts, but the long-term incentives.   3. Cultural fit - A lack of cultural fit can be costly for both sides. Managers in the industry are looking for an authentic corporate culture.   4. Flexibility - If hybrid working is not offered, candidates often drop out of the process. Home office or hybrid working is no longer a bonus - it's a MUST.   5. Efficient process - slow or unstructured processes are a deterrent. Binding and transparent processes are a sign of efficiency and goal-orientation, especially for top executives.   💡 The results speak for themselves: appreciation, authenticity and an absolute prioritization of discussions with the potential managers of tomorrow are the cornerstones of a successful process.   #ExecutiveSearch #Recruiting #EngineeringLeadership #CLevelInsights
