Employees are looking for remote, flexible work and will leave to get it, Slack finds.
We’re nearly two years into working from home as a result of the pandemic and employees are loving the flexibility that the new normal provides – and will move companies to keep it. That’s the findings from a survey of 10,7373 knowledge workers in the US, France, Germany, Japan, and the UK conducted by Future Forum, a consortium established by Slack and others to promote new ways of working. While the pandemic has caused huge stress and anxiety, as well as significant loss for many, workers are finding that the they enjoy being free from daily office visits and being forced to live in cities. A full 58% are in hybrid working arrangements, up 12% from May 2021, and 68% say this is their preferred method of working now.
