The Covid-19 pandemic continues to shape our working practices and attitude towards work, with both workers and leaders calling for continued and permanent changes in how and where we work and how performance is measured, according to new research.
The Adecco Group, the world’s leading HR solutions company, yesterday unveiled the results of its latest and most comprehensive global study, Resetting Normal: Defining the New Era of Work, which examines how attitudes to work have changed over 12 months and highlights the key issues companies must manage to successfully adapt in this period of transition.
The Adecco Group’s Chief Executive Officer, Alain Dehaze said, for those who are not bound to being physically present to perform their work, it is obvious that we will never return to the office in the same way and that the future of work is flexible.
“The pandemic has accelerated existing trends to the point where they cannot be ignored, and future success depends on individuals and leaders adapting to them,” he said in as statement.
Their research clearly shows that ‘one size will not fit all’ when it comes to addressing employees’ needs and they’re increasingly seeing a leadership struggling to balance remote working and care for their teams.
“Now is the time to start bridging this gap by developing and equipping leaders and workers alike with the skills and capabilities they need to reignite motivation and build a cohesive company culture that maintains and develops a successful, resilient and healthy workforce.
“This is no longer a ‘nice to have’ it is where the battle for talent will happen. Companies that are able and willing to recognise and deal with these issues will thrive, and those that are not may be left behind,” he said.
