Quality of life has displaced pay as the biggest single influence on finance professionals weighing up whether to leave New Zealand.
A survey of finance and accounting staff in 17 countries by recruiting firm Robert Half has found that pay is still the main reason for New Zealanders to actively look for a new job, but comes third after quality of life and family considerations when it comes to considering a job overseas.
A director of Robert Half's Auckland office, Kim Smith, said the survey was "a real wake-up call" to Kiwi employers.
"Skilled workers are placing a very high premium on fitting their jobs into the rest of their lives," she said.
