Staffing Hub – This article highlights some key findings from Traliant’s recent survey, How Employees are Shaping the New World of Work. Here’s an excerpt:
Work-life balance, flexibility, and psychological safety will be increasingly important to employees in 2023 and beyond, according to a survey by Traliant. Almost half (49%) of the 2,000 full-time U.S. employees surveyed said they’re prioritizing their family and personal life, as well as mental health (47%).
Part of this focus on personal well-being includes flexible work arrangements. A large majority (82%) of respondents said that hybrid/remote work options have given them better work-life balance. Additionally, 1 in 5 said they would look for a new job if they were required to return to onsite work.
Just over half (51%) of respondents said their work culture promotes burnout, while 22% don’t feel their workplace promotes psychological safety. A lack of company trust leads to less commitment (44%) and less connection (56%) from employees.
