As the world changes, so does the workforce. Workplaces ten, even five years ago look completely different than today. As a result, the quintessential “dream job” may look different too. Here’s what a dream job looks like in 2023.  

Competitive Pay and Benefits 

A salary that allows one to live comfortably is a must, especially in the age of inflation. However, job seekers also desire benefits such as healthcare, retirement plans, paid time-off, and even education funds. 

Remote Options 

Not everyone likes to lug all the way to the office. Following the pandemic, remote options are not only more embraced, but also required.   

Opportunity 

Job seekers want a career that allows them to grow and expand, instead of being stuck in the same place.  

Job Security 

During a time of mass layoffs, jobseekers value a workplace that they can feel secure in. A reliable income source gives people a sense of stability and make it easier to plan ahead.  

Parental Benefits 

Managing a job while also raising a child is very difficult. Parental leave, adoption or fertility assistance, and health insurance can make it easier for employees to show up while also starting a family.
