The latest Universum Talent Survey shows the companies South African professionals from various fields want to work for the most.<\/p>\n

The survey report is based on current employment trends, preferred employers, and the evolving talent needs in the current economic climate.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the biggest trends to look out for globally is the overarching evolution of employees\u2019 need to belong,\u201d said Pabi Mogosetsi, the country manager for Universum Global South Africa.<\/p>\n

According to the Manpower Group, economic activity is reverting to pre-pandemic levels, with data revealing that more employers will expect to hire talent in the third and fourth quarters of this year.<\/p>\n

Despite this, the \u2018brain drain\u2019 and skills shortage dilemmas remain a challenge to businesses, noted Mogosetsi.<\/p>\n

A particular point of interest is that more professionals are not as trusting in their organisation’s leadership as they may have been previously, Mogosetsi said.<\/p>\n

“6.2\/10 of the respondents would recommend their current places of work to someone else, which is concerning considering that a satisfaction rating of 8\/10 should be achieved.”<\/p>\n

When looking for new positions, working professionals are using networks and connections they have made in the industry and online reviews to make their choices on employer information.<\/p>\n

Mogosetsi said that both ethical standards and professional training and development are still highly regarded by professionals, with an emphasis being placed on secure employment<\/strong> over leadership opportunities.<\/p>\n

Remote work has also emerged as a new trend that working professionals favour.<\/p>\n

Listed below are the companies most professional South Africans want to work for based on each industry:<\/p>\n
