Why workplace flexibility is so important
The global pandemic upended everything we thought we knew about work. During the shutdowns, many people worked remotely for the first time. Lots of them enjoyed it! According to a 2021 survey by PwC, 71% of workers and 83% of employers rated remote work as a success. More than half (55%) of employees want to stay remote at least three days per week. Meanwhile, the Great Resignation has people quitting at higher rates than ever before. While some are retiring or otherwise leaving the workforce for good, many are looking for better workplace culture, including a stronger work-life balance. Work flexibility is a win-win for everyone. Older workers, those with childcare concerns and professionals with disabilities can often thrive in an environment that makes space for personal needs. And in a time when workers are demanding more, employers who offer flexibility are better able to attract and retain top talent. By adding flexibility now, you’ll also be in a better position to pivot if needed.Is this helpful?
