Smaller businesses face a David-and-Goliath challenge when competing for top talent against larger enterprises. Despite financial differences, smaller businesses can leverage agility in decision-making during hiring. LinkedIn surveys reveal that, while compensation, work-life balance, and flexible arrangements matter universally, the nuances of employee preferences distinguish smaller businesses.
Collaborative culture, aligned values, and happy teams are +15.4%, +14.9%, and +14.6% more important, respectively, for SMB employees. Emphasizing a welcoming atmosphere and shared values becomes crucial. Conversely, SMB employees prioritize career growth opportunities less (+18.1%) within the company, highlighting an opportunity for smaller businesses to spotlight skill development in a simpler organizational structure.

Insights from LinkedIn’s Talent Drivers survey (December 2022 to November 2023) provide data-backed perspectives on the evolving dynamics of employee preferences in the SMB versus enterprise landscape.
