More than two-thirds of employees globally say having a successful career and full life is attainable, according to new research by Accenture.
Even 52 percent of respondents say they have turned down offers because of worries regarding the impact on work-life balance. When it comes to defining career success, work-life balance is the top response at 56 percent, followed by money at 46 percent, recognition at 42 percent and autonomy, also at 42 percent.
"Over the course of their careers, professionals will continue to define and redefine what success looks like," says Adrian Lajtha, chief leadership officer of Accenture. "For many, career goals and personal priorities will take precedence at different times. As today's professionals strive to find the right balance, leading companies will find innovative ways to help them develop, grow and thrive."
