#1 Higher base salary

It is known that a well-compensated and an engaging culture will make employers stay for long in their jobs. The longer an employee works at a company, the better understanding the person will have related to the job and company mission. Eventually, this results in more productivity and creates stronger teams. However, if the company does not provide enough base salary, then it is common for employees to leave the company and move to another job that offers a higher base salary. This is what 75% of the participants surveyed by Hired also state.
