Working in ESG: wages, conditions, and high-demand skills

A hybrid episode based on the findings of a survey of 1,800 practitioners by specialist ESG recruitment agency Talent Nation.

There's some fascinating insights into trends in the ESG sector in this episode. For example:

• People are more likely to stay put in their jobs than in the previous year or two, with the exception of early career professionals.
• Very few early career professionals consider they are paid adequately.
• Women are paying a 'loyalty penalty', with women that have been in their jobs for a long time likely to be paid significantly less than their male peers.
• Three years ago 80% of sustainability managers had more than 10 years experience, compared to just under 60% this year.
• The speed with which many sustainability professionals are being promoted does raise burnout risks, particularly for professionals that have not had sufficient mentoring, or that work alone or in a small team.

This episode comprises an interview with Talent Nation founder and chief executive Richard Evans, and highlights from a webinar jointly hosted by Richard and Talent Nation principal recruitment consultant Claire Black.
