Many businesses may still be questioning whether to bring employees back on-site full time or adopt a more flexible work policy. It’s been shown that those taking a hardline approach with return-to-office plans risk losing valued talent. In fact, a survey by our company shows that 4 in 10 managers in the U.S. have lost staff due to their organization’s return-to-office requirements, and 1 in 5 feel the lack of remote work options is the main barrier to recruiting in-demand talent.
Other organizations, including Robert Half, are embracing flexible work as the way forward versus a passing phase spurred by the pandemic. Leading employers understand that flexible work options can provide staff with the autonomy and work-life integration they want, while helping the business meet its hiring and retention goals and grow its reputation as an employer of choice.
