Digital Design Recruitment: Employee sentiments in 2022

Digital Design recruitment continues to be one of the leading specialisms here at Cranberry Panda. Ambitious design, coupled with a seamless user experience, is more important than ever.

Does this pressure take its toll on digital design employees? Our 2022 eCommerce Salary Survey & Insights report reveals all For this employee review, we will be taking questionnaire data from our digital design respondents only. 

When looking at digital design and creative professionals, 57% are happy with their balance between work and home. This is a significant decrease from the overall statistic. Furthermore, 70% of digital design respondents believe management can do more to encourage work-life balance.

Digital Design professionals - happiness in current role

Respondents were asked to rate their happiness in their current role out of ten. Looking at our design & creative respondents, the average is 6/10. This has decreased slightly from 6.4/10 in 2021. Our recent blog about workplace happiness in eCommerce has more insights that could offer some ideas about improving workplace sentiments.

Overtime for digital design and creative professionals

We can see there is some dissatisfaction so far - not as many designers are happy with their work-life balance as we would expect. Is overtime playing a role in this?

  • None: 18% (20% in 2021)
  • A few minutes here and there: 5% (5% in 2021)
  • Half an hour: 5% (8% in 2021)
  • An hour: 4% (17% in 2021)
  • Between 2-3 hours: 29% (17% in 2021)
  • Between 3-5 hours: 18% (17% in 2021)
  • More than 5 hours: 21% (16% in 2021)

As we can see, there has been an increase in digital designers doing more overtime...this definitely explains the preceding statistics.
