Workplace fexibility as a talent management policy is no
longer an option; it is an essential practice that enables
organizations to attract and develop skilled talent. The
practice is rapidly becoming a win-win: refective of
employee and employer needs. According to the Alfred
P. Sloan Center on Aging and Work at Boston College,
“As companies become multinational in their scope of
services, suppliers and products, the ability to interact
with customers and clients all around the world requires
a workforce that can operate fexibly in terms of hours
and locations.”1
Candidates today report a dramatic increase in the
importance of schedule fexibility in their career decisions.
In many countries, this factor has risen between 20 and
30 percent in just one year. In fact, nearly 40 percent
of global candidates report that schedule flexibility
is now among the top three factors they consider
when making career decisions.
Historically, workplace culture has valued presenteeism
over results and output. But two-thirds (63 percent) of
today’s candidates do not believe they need to be sitting
at their desk to get their work done. Technology has
irreversibly shifted the paradigm in many workplaces.
In response, more companies are implementing some
type of fexibility policy than ever before. As a result,
companies that are proactively creating fexible work
arrangements may be at an advantage in recruiting and
retaining in-demand talent.
To better understand how employers can leverage global
candidate preferences and perceptions, ManpowerGroup
Solutions, the world’s largest Recruitment Process
Outsourcing (RPO) provider, went directly to the
source — candidates. In the Global Candidate
Preferences Survey, nearly 14,000 individuals in the
workforce between the ages of 18 and 65 shared what
matters to them in the job search process. The study was
felded in 19 infuential countries across the globe.
Flexible work arrangements are no longer just a concern
of working mothers. People of all ages are interested
in the blend of work and home that technology
affords and society demands. This report provides
new insights into schedule fexibility preferences across
the globe.
