The whole concept of trying to control what your employees do outside of work is strange to me. I concur with the writer that people working multiple jobs doesn’t matter. Especially in today’s economy where one income often doesn’t suffice. With the flexibility and autonomy that remote jobs offer, ‘double dipping’ is not just about balancing two roles, but it’s a testament to the adaptability and multifaceted skills of today’s professionals. Let’s discuss how this trend is reshaping our work culture! #FutureOfWork #RemoteRevolution”

This article is a rational response to the concern of remote workers holding more than one full time job (for the small proportion of people who actually do it). I think it's unreasonable to base general policies on the possibility that people might be doing it. I seriously doubt that many people have the energy and time and stress management skills to do it. Treat it as an outlier and deal with situations as the article recommends.

Hybrid working is here to stay! 🌐🏠 A staggering 73% of UK companies now embrace this flexible work model. It's a game-changer, reshaping not just where we work, but how we work. As a recruiter at tPS Recruitment, I've seen the surge in demand for professionals who can seamlessly adapt to this blend of office and remote work. The question is, do you have the right skills to excel in this evolving environment? Here's what I've learned: ✅ Adaptability is key. Those who can pivot between home and office setups without skipping a beat are in high demand. ✅ Communication skills have never been more crucial. Can you convey your ideas effectively, both in person and through a screen? ✅ Self-management is a must. The ability to self-motivate and stay productive without direct supervision sets top talent apart. If you're ready to navigate the hybrid work landscape with confidence, let's chat. I'm here to help you harness your potential and find opportunities that align with this new way of working. Drop a comment or reach out directly, and let's propel your career forward together. 🚀 For more insights and opportunities: 📞 0330 056 6665 🌐 theprogressshed.com #HybridWorking #CareerGrowth #JobMarketTrends

If you thought Friday was going to be a no-disagreement day this might challenge you. Remote or Hybrid or In Office? Which is better? And is there a solution that meets the needs of both? I have some interesting data to offer before you chime in. As compared to 100% in office requirement jobs: A: Jobs with fully remote job offers get ~10X more applicants. B. Jobs that offer 95% remote work, meaning people may have to come in for an occasional meeting, get ~2X more applicants. This data is not employee data, it's applicant data. But what should the market glean from what applicants are taking the greatest interest? https://lnkd.in/guwvsgkZ Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Mike P.

Ensuring Junior Employees Are Desk Ready A recent study by Wall Street Prep shows that 70% of HR and L&D leaders in the financial sector report that new junior employees lack the necessary skills for immediate contribution. This "desk readiness" gap underscores the need for enhanced onboarding and training to boost productivity and smooth transitions, especially as the workforce shifts back from remote to in-person roles. 🤝 Soft Skills: A Non-Negotiable for Junior Employee Success Amidst a changing workplace landscape, soft skills have emerged as critical for junior employees. The same survey highlighted the importance of interpersonal abilities for effective communication, collaboration, and problem-solving, which are essential for navigating workplace dynamics and professional growth. 🏢 Challenges of Remote Work Transition and Return to Office The pandemic-induced remote work era disrupted traditional learning experiences, complicating the onboarding of junior employees. As businesses gradually welcome staff back to the office, addressing the unique challenges of this transition is crucial for maintaining productivity and employee readiness. 👥 Addressing Workplace Skill Gaps Beyond Finance The issue of unprepared junior employees spans various industries, with concerns over communication skills, professional etiquette, and adaptability. This calls for a structured approach to mentorship and soft skills development, integral for nurturing a competent and versatile workforce. 📚 The Vital Role of Learning and Development Programs L&D programs are key to bridging the gap between academic and practical skills, offering a blend of technical and interpersonal training. Such initiatives not only benefit junior employees but also contribute to a culture of continuous learning and adaptability across the workforce. 💼 Navigating Budgetary Constraints for Effective Training Despite the clear benefits, L&D programs often face budgetary challenges. Recognizing the long-term value of investing in junior talent development is essential for enhancing employee satisfaction, retention, and overall productivity. 🛠 Best Practices for Enhancing Junior Employee Preparedness Organizations can improve desk readiness through structured onboarding, mentorship, continuous learning opportunities, collaborative work environments, and regular feedback. Such strategies ensure junior employees are well-equipped to contribute and grow within their roles, benefiting both individual careers and organizational success. #HumanResources #LearningAndDevelopment #EmployeePreparedness #DeskReadiness

Hybrid working has become the norm for many over the past four years, and it's here to stay. But what effect is it having on productivity, staff retention, and overall decision making? As someone who engages with candidates, clients, and decision makers daily, I've found that this topic elicits a high level of debate. It's not uncommon for a candidate's decision to pursue an opportunity to rest solely on whether a company offers one, two, or three days working from home. This would have been difficult to comprehend a few years ago, but the landscape has very much changed. While many companies I've dealt with are advocates of hybrid working, it's also apparent that many have a difference of opinion. After all, each business operates differently and will have a different view on the matter. It raises the question, is there a right and a wrong approach to take when seeking to hire, attract, and retain the best people for your business? #hyrbidworking #finance #accounting
