Workplace flexibility: beyond a ‘one size fits all’ approach

In partnership with Beamible, our latest thought piece focuses on a curated approach to designing a strategy and operating model that embraces workplace flexibility.

“Not since the industrial revolution have companies really had to think about work design, about what tasks get done and where do those tasks get done, and when and how do you deconstruct work so that it’s done in an optimal manner”​ Nickle LaMoreaux CHRO, IBM ​- LinkedIn Global Talent Trends 2022​

It’s a no brainer that the expectations of the workforce have shifted so dramatically that flexible working is now no longer a ‘nice to have’.​

Flexible working arrangements for many are now non-negotiable. ​And that’s ok.

• 63% of professionals selected work-life balance as their top priority when picking a new job (this was the highest priority – even above compensation and benefits at 60%) LinkedIn Global Talent Trends 2022
• 82% of business leaders plan to maintain a partial work-from-home structure even after COVID-19 is no longer a threat. Gartner, 2020​
