Salary reduction for work equipment

For 86% of respondents in Germany, the choice of their own work device is very important. More than nine out of ten (94%) would even be prepared to sacrifice part of their salary for it. 63 percent of the study participants stated that they would be more likely to switch to a company and 72 percent that they would be more likely to stay with a company if they could choose their own work equipment. Converted into monetary value, respondents in Germany are prepared to give up an average of 110 euros of their salary. Study participants report numerous benefits of having an employee choice program, including feeling more valued. For many companies, however, employee choice is not a priority. For example, only 48% say that their company allows them to choose their own work device.
