They were also the groups that felt most insecure in their role \u2014 24.7% in the Netherlands and 25.6% in Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, most of the respondents from the two countries expressed zero confidence in the companies they work for. This number reaches 32.2% in Sweden and 38.7% in the Netherlands, while the European average stands at 28.19%.

Other motivations included company growth and success and flexible working opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond compensation, the surveyed employees valued hybrid and flexible shifts the most, followed by budgets for learning and development, and health benefits. A four-day work model and the possibility to work from anywhere for a while ranked fourth and sixth.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Back_to_the_office\"><\/span>Back to the office<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While flexibility is among the top priorities, young tech workers are returning to the office. More than half of all respondents (56.14%) said they prefer working at the office four to five times per week. Hybrid work came second at 34.49%, with nearly 40% of the employees reporting that they feel equally engaged both at home and in the office.<\/p>\n<p>Only 9.38% of respondents showed preference towards fully remote work, with the set-up most appreciated by employees in Ireland and France.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Embracing_AI\"><\/span>Embracing AI<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite fears of AI taking over jobs, 78% of the people surveyed were confident about the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a>\u2019s impact on their role.
