About YPAI
Every year, we conduct the survey Young Professional Attraction Index (YPAI), in which we ask young professionals – students and graduates at the beginning of their careers – about their preferred employers and what makes an employer attractive to them. The aim is to help companies and organizations understand how to attract and develop tomorrow’s workforce.
The survey has been running for nine consecutive years in Sweden and is also implemented in other markets where we operate. This year, we’re venturing into the Netherlands for the first time, gathering data from more than 1,000 respondents. The survey provides valuable insights into what is important for Dutch young professionals when choosing an employer and the factors that influence their decisions.
