The genie is out of the bottle. The pandemic has given workers a taste of freedom. Freedom to be human. Freedom to work where, when and how they want.
There is no getting the genie back in the bottle … to secure talent, organisations are going to need to a fresh approach to work design.
- Offer flexibility of time
- Remove barriers to geographic flexibility
- Address spans of control / spans of attention
- Develop genuine measures of personal productivity
- Give employees more agency to find and do work that they love
- Develop a competitive, differentiated and personalised proposition to attract and retain employees
What people are really looking for isn’t flexibility of location. It’s flexibility of time. The pandemic has kind of shown everybody that we’re whole humans.
