Flexibility is a highly coveted part of today’s workplace, and how much employees appreciate it is obvious when it comes to satisfaction, recruitment and retention.
A recent report from business management solutions company Businessolver found that 94% of employees said a flexible work hours policy was the best way for an employer to demonstrate empathy to their workforce, and 90% said flexible work location sent the same message. Eight out of 10 employees surveyed by job platform Flexjobs said more flexible work options would increase the loyalty they felt to their company, and data from remote job board Remote.co shows employers who do provide flexible work options have a 25% lower turnover rate.
