In addition, compensation is positioned first as a factor that people, who are looking for work, take into account as they want to be competitive in the labor market and to maintain their lifestyle.
The second factor is professional development, which means the growth that the person can have within the organization as part of their personal and work fulfillment.
Likewise, Costa Ricans are looking for companies that generate tranquility, challenges and that allow them to grow within the company.
At the global level, the most important factors consist primarily of compensation, followed by the type of work, as well as flexibility.
