• Office culture is increasingly important, especially among younger workers.

• Offering flexible work schedules — for example, the ability to work remotely a few days a week — can significantly help you attract talent.

• Variable compensation structures are an increasingly popular lever for attracting talent.

• Many companies are paying above market rates in order to compete for top talent.
