Gallup’s Post

There are lots of insights available from Gallup below and in the link. First - the data is in, it's very easy to determine the effect of your remote work policy on engagement. There's even data on the effect of the number of days in the office on engagement and connection to your company's mission. Second - your employees know what works and what doesn't when it comes to remote work. Finally - giving them some say - as a team or as a company - has a profound effect on their engagement. If you haven't looked at your policy in a while, it's probably worthwhile to make sure that your teams are on board and not waiting for what they think is an obvious change from you.

Couldn’t agree more. This is the new norm in the work place. In order to attract and retain top talent companies must offer this flexibility.

Crafting a long-term hybrid work strategy requires a clear understanding of how organizations are structuring remote work flexibility and what is working best for employees, especially given that five in 10 full-time U.S. employees have remote-capable jobs. To remain competitive, organizational cultures need to reflect that they provide what employees are looking for. Gallup's latest insights show that most remote-capable employees are working in a hybrid or exclusively remote arrangement, and the ability to work in a hybrid arrangement is what most remote-capable employees want. Six in 10 employees with remote-capable jobs want a hybrid work arrangement. About one-third prefer fully remote work, and less than 10% prefer to work on-site.

The demand for job flexibility is not going anywhere in 2024. According to research by Gallup, 3 in 10 hybrid employees say they’d be extremely likely to leave their organization if not offered at least some degree of remote flexibility. The same goes for 6 in 10 full-time remote employees. To acquire and retain the best talent, employers must accept remote and hybrid work as the norm – trusting that their employees will work best when their needs for flexibility and autonomy are met. #RemoteTalent #FlexJobs #HybridLife #RemoteFirst #WorkLifeBalance
