The Young Professional Attraction Index survey examines the views of early-career talent on working life and employers, offering a broad and independent snapshot of the expectations of highly educated early-career talent in Finland. The survey is conducted in cooperation with research company Kantar. In 2026, the survey had 4,699 respondents in Finland, and more than 13,000 respondents internationally in 2025. This year also marks the 10th anniversary of the research.
