Teenagers prioritise values in careers

The survey highlighted that 77% consider mental health support crucial in the workplace, with 74% believing it enhances employee happiness and retention. The study also found that only 8% of teens are interested in company-wide events, with 17% preferring jobs offering free private healthcare over a company car scheme (7%). Parents of these teens expressed concerns about their children’s future workplace, with 54% worried about the skills mismatch and potential toxicity of work environments.
