According to Mercer’s 2023-2024 Inside Employees’ Minds© study, US employers’ investments in pay, benefits, and flexibility have resulted in employees having more positive attitudes about work this year. Concurrently, financial stressors remain a top concern across all demographics as many employees are struggling with making ends meet, increased debt and rising healthcare costs.
“This year’s data indicate that we are settling into a new way of working and living – one where people prioritize their well-being amidst uncertainty, and where there is an increasingly stark divide between lower-income employees and the rest of the workforce in terms of the ability to survive and thrive,” said Lauren Mason, Senior Principal in Mercer’s Career Business.
