In a rapidly changing job market, understanding employee motivations and expectations has become essential for organisations seeking to remain competitive. Priorities have shifted, and increasingly, factors such as wellbeing, recognition, and development opportunities carry weight in career decisions.
In this context, consulting firm AON conducted the Employee Sentiment Study 2025: Valued and Valuable and released its conclusions in 2025. The report results from a survey conducted in 2024 of 9,200 employees from 23 countries, including Portugal, aged between 18 and 64 and working in companies with more than 500 employees. The collected data was weighted to ensure faithful representation of global reality.
The study shows that globally, 60% of surveyed employees are considering changing jobs within the next 12 months, reflecting a growing demand for better conditions and work-life balance. In Portugal, 33% of respondents feel undervalued, a value significantly higher than the global average of 13%. About half (46%) admit to considering a job change within the next year. Wellbeing is a clear priority for Portuguese employees, with 58% advocating for more proactive action from companies in this area. Regarding training, only 35% report receiving opportunities to develop new skills, while 21% still do not know what impact Artificial Intelligence tools might have on their roles.
The report also highlights the importance of benefits personalisation: 72% of employees value being able to adapt their benefits to their needs, but only 41% have this possibility. Additionally, many professionals, especially in lower salary brackets, express doubts about the fairness of their remuneration.
At a time when talent attraction and retention is one of the main priorities for organisations, it becomes fundamental to adopt integrated and long-term strategies. Companies that manage to align their value proposition with employee expectations will be better positioned to attract and retain talent in the future, thus ensuring greater organisational success and sustainability.
