Employers: Why remote work matters to your hiring

by | Sep 10, 2021 | executive candidates, executive search consultants

What’s your work-at-home policy look like for 2021? And just exactly how much does it matter?

Turns out a lot if you’re hoping to hire.

Owl Labs conducted an end-of-2020 survey to find out how employees around the country feel about working in a post-COVID world. Two critical takeaways I gleaned:

⭐️ 70% of full-time workers in the US experienced working from home during the pandemic
⭐️ 77% say they want the option to work from home permanently

The ability to work from home has become a critical lever for employees who have gotten a taste for being productive in their leisurewear and skipping the morning commute.

And while there is a fine line between “more quality time with family” and “way too much quality time,” I can testify that “remote work policy” is a frontline topic of conversation among job candidates today.

What’s your remote work policy going to look like for 2021 and beyond?

Are you willing to expand your thinking and in turn expand your opportunities to locate some great talent?

I can help with that… I work on a national level.

Give me a call.
