It’s often said that money can’t buy happiness or love, and for the majority of people working in the UK that’s true. A recent survey of UK professionals showed that twice as many workers believe that a job they enjoy is a better measure of career success (83%) than having a high salary (42%). 

When asked to share how they measure career success, the top five responses to the survey were: 

• Enjoying what you do – 83.6%
• Being proud of what you’ve achieved – 73.8%
• Doing a job that makes a real difference to people’s lives – 57.1%
• Working for a company you love – 54.2%
• Earning a high salary – 42.4%

Putting your happiness and wellbeing ahead of financial incentives or how others perceive your achievements is a growing trend amongst younger demographics, and is being reflected in how companies are responding with wellbeing programmes and improved HR departments.
