Surprising no one but the mgmt teams…
Unispace found that nearly half (42%) of companies with return-to-office mandates witnessed a higher level of employee attrition than they had anticipated. And almost a third (29%) of companies enforcing office returns are struggling with recruitment. In other words, employers knew the mandates would cause some attrition, but they weren’t ready for the serious problems that would result.
Meanwhile, a staggering 76% of employees stand ready to jump ship if their companies decide to pull the plug on flexible work schedules, according to the Greenhouse report. Moreover, employees from historically underrepresented groups are 22% more likely to consider other options if flexibility comes to an end.
In the SHED survey, the gravity of this situation becomes more evident. The survey equates the displeasure of shifting from a flexible work model to a traditional one to that of experiencing a 2% to 3% pay cut.
Yes, programming. But I live in the capitol of my country, I have never had this problem before. How will the commute to work look for me was even a part of my screening process
Interesting. Well clearly it’s a global conversation. I’ll have to apologize for speaking only from a US standpoint.
No need to apologize, we just exchanged observations :)
And it’s possible that what I see is anecdotal due to some skill-niche or something
