Mid and large enterprises have an opportunity to make the most out of new working styles that are here to stay.<\/span><\/h3>\n

The way we work has changed. Organisations across the globe have had to adapt to ensure business continuity over the past two years, and remote work has drastically accelerated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While enterprises worked on strategies to figure out how to transition their business back into the office, employees expectations shifted. 65% of employees say<\/a> the pandemic has made them rethink the place that work should have in their lives.<\/span> They now seek more personal value and purpose from both life and work which translates in an increasing demand for more purpose-driven employment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the massive shift to remote work caused many employees to relocate \u2013 mostly to lower cost-of-living areas. Those who relocated want to stay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A return-to-work survey of 9,000 employees<\/a> found that over 25% say they would resign if forced to return to the office and 56% of full-time employees who worked hybrid or remotely during COVID-19 would rather work from home permanently.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the remote and hybrid work trend varies due to things like location, culture and IT adoption, there\u2019s no doubt that it will stay in one form or another. Whether employees decide to spend three days a week in the office or if teams decide to split forever, flexible work is now the future.<\/span><\/p>\n
