Future of Work Reinvented

Designing a Win-Win for People and Employers

The priority of workforce issues, such as talent retention, hiring and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), is rising among senior leadership. 

Pandemic-driven changes in work models have created a range of challenges and opportunities, including how best to attract, retain and engage employees and offer people the value and purpose they now expect from work.

As hybrid work becomes the norm, at least for many knowledge workers, concerns are growing that culture is being diluted. 

In recent Gartner surveys, CEOs rate culture as their biggest concern when it comes to in-office and work-from-home policies for knowledge workers, and HR leaders say the most challenging aspect of hybrid strategy is adjusting their current culture to be supportive of their workforce.

    Employees’ intent to stay or leave a job is a growing issue for many organisations, but it is only one thing people are questioning in light of the pandemic.

    IT workers have a 10.6% lower intent to stay than the average employee — the lowest out of all corporate functions. (Only 29% have a high intent to stay.)

    14% of employees say they would quit if forced to get vaccinated for COVID-19 as a term of their employment.

    49% of job candidates who have received a job offer are considering at least two others at the same time.

    65% of employees say the pandemic has made them rethink the place work should have in their lives.

    52% of employees say the pandemic has made them question the purpose of their day-to-day jobs.

    55% of employees and 65% of IT employees say that whether or not they can work flexibly will impact if they will stay in their jobs.

    Employees tell us what they want the future of work to be: human, hybrid and equitable. Smart organisations will listen.

    The proposition you offer your employees now — even as you plan and execute your reopening strategy — is what will determine how much and how well they contribute to your enterprise ambitions, especially around digital. We will continue to define work through terms like remote, distributed, automated and unbounded, but it is time to evolve the ‘future of work’ from a meme to a promise.

    Human-centric work design lies at the heart of a productive future of work — unless business leaders remain blind to the facts.

    The strategic and operational intent of business leaders must be to deliver good outcomes for both employees and employers, provide and produce flexibility, and deliver and demand equitable treatment and opportunity.

    Human-centric work design — featuring flexible work experiences, intentional collaboration opportunities and empathic management — can increase employee performance by as much as 54%.

    55% of employees are high performers when provided radical flexibility over where, when and with whom they work versus 36% of those working 9 to 5 in the office.

    If required to work fully on-site, 43% of employees and 47% of knowledge workers say they would seek other jobs.

    82% of employees agree it is important that their organisation sees them as a person, not just an employee.

    96% of HR leaders are more concerned about employees’ well-being today than they were before the pandemic.
