If our homes reflect our characters, then the home of an artist is likely to be particularly intriguing. A new book, Life Meets Art: Inside the Homes of the World’s Most Creative People, opens the doors to a collection of interiors that have all at some point belonged to famous artists, sculptors, musicians or writers.

Why workers are choosing big pay packets over flexibility
Flexibility has long been touted as the ‘it’ perk. But as pay packets swell, workers are increasingly prioritising bigger salaries over other benefits.

For many workers, flexibility has become paramount. Now that millions of employees have enjoyed the ability to work remotely and shape their schedules, workers are increasingly reticent to give up flexibility – and would consider making sacrifices to have accommodating jobs. Earlier in the pandemic, large swaths of workers reported willingness to take a pay cut if they secured the benefits they wanted.

But in recent months, a shift has occurred: while flexibility is still high on the list, pay is moving centre stage as a priority for job-seekers. Both knowledge- and blue-collar workers with particularly in-demand skillsets are enjoying sharp salary rises, as labour shortages impact some industries. These hikes are coming as workers of all stripes are facing rising living costs – and wondering if they, too, could find a better-paying role elsewhere.

Right now, say experts, in sectors where workers have leverage, companies are having to pay more to secure the personnel they need. And as people worry about paying their bills, salary levels are moving ahead of flexibility as the most important factor in attracting and retaining talent.
