‘It’s not all about the money: What do early career professionals in the geospatial sector value from their employers?’
In 2022 the AGI Early Careers Network in collaboration with the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) surveyed geospatial professionals to understand the relative importance of organisational values and employee terms and conditions to early career professionals and how these change as careers progress.
Preliminary results were presented at AGI’s GeoCom in October 2022. We are now able to share the full results of the survey with the publication of the report ‘It’s not all about the money: What do early career professionals in the geospatial sector value from their employers?’
The results revealed that:
- Opportunities for learning and development are particularly important to those in their early and midcareer.
- Employee wellbeing, job security and work life balance are important across all career stages.
- There is a greater importance on office location for ‘early career’ respondents, this importance decreases as careers progress.
- The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted employee values and expectations across all career stages. The option to work from home is now a higher priority, with remote working opening up opportunities for job seekers and opportunities for improving work/life balance.
We hope you find this report an interesting read.
