Think your employees don't have second jobs? Think again. A recent revelation: 52% of UK workers are moonlighting or considering it. This isn't just a trend; it's a movement reshaping our work culture. For businesses, this dual employment wave poses unique challenges. Diminished focus, increased absenteeism, and a dip in engagement can seem like the tip of an iceberg threatening to sink the ship of productivity. But here's a twist. What if, instead of resisting, we embrace this shift? Imagine a workplace where flexibility reigns and outcome-based strategies lead. A place where employees feel supported in pursuing their passions and financial goals, without compromising their main roles. The result? A surge in satisfaction, creativity, and a treasure trove of diverse skills that enrich our companies. We stand at a crossroads. It's time to pivot from viewing second jobs as a threat to seeing them as an opportunity to foster a vibrant, adaptable, and innovative workforce. So just look up, there is a 'book an appointment' link just at the top of this post.

“In 2016, [Leesman] found that 86% of employees agreed that their workplace supported productive work. By 2021, this figure had dropped to 64%. At the same time, 84% of surveyed home workers asserted that they felt most productive in their home environment, underscoring the shift towards viewing home as a viable option.” Business Matters Magazine included the above insight, cited from an article that our Deputy CEO Alison English wrote in 2021. In 2024, we’re still asking what makes a productive workplace. Much has changed since the studies referenced in the article, but productivity remains at the forefront of the workplace narrative.

A recent global survey of 700+ business leaders revealed that flexibility in work is now a must-have. 🔹 83% value flexibility as much as compensation. 🔹 82% believe single career paths are outdated. 🔹 83% urge awareness of diverse labor contracts. ...but only 38% said they feel confident in combining different types of work effectively. This shows that rules and systems need to change to better support everyone. Denis Pennel from the World Employment Confederation put it best: "Work must adapt to our lifestyle, not the other way around." How are you shaping flexible work models within your organization? #FutureOfWork #WorkFlexibility #SustainableFlexibility #WorkplaceTrends #WorkLifeBalance #DiverseWorkforces #CareerFlexibility #EmployeeEmpowerment

❓ What Does Omniployment Mean to Business Owners? This month’s blog talks all about omniployment and the impact it’s having on SME business owners. ✔ The pursuit of a better work/life balance is impacting the workforce around the globe. Business owners are worried that the shift away from the workplace pattern they’ve used for years will impact their bottom line but this doesn’t have to be the case. ✖ The era of 'one-size-fits-all' employment strategies is becoming a relic of the past. 🌟 Today's top talent values flexibility and autonomy far beyond traditional monetary incentives and perks like company cars or private healthcare. Employees want to be in a stable, secure and supportive environment where they can grow and thrive, contributing to a purpose for organisations that make ethical choices. The modern workforce has had to adapt to a hybrid working model, although people wanted flexibility within their job roles pre-Covid, new approaches for recruiting and retaining staff had to be adopted quickly, especially after the spike in the number of resignations during 2021. It's time to embrace workplace flexibility!

❗ OMNIPLOYMENT ❓ Have you heard of it? This new word is signalling an era with a huge change within the workforce AND is greatly impacting businesses around the UK. 🤔 But what is it? And why do SME business owners need to know about it to solve their staffing issues? In the post-pandemic era, the quest for a more harmonious work/life balance has taken centre stage in businesses, signalling a profound shift away from the traditional working 9-5 model. Gone are the long commutes to work. People now know that they can adopt a hybrid-working model, and divide their time between working from home and the office, yet still be productive. We have entered what has been termed the ‘Ominployment Era’, a phrase coined in a data-driven white paper written by Henley Business School. This month’s blog has more details https://lnkd.in/eEtYHAqp #thrivehruk #hr #hrconsultancy #businesssuccess #businessgrowth #flexibility #carersupport #worklifebalance #workingparents #wellbeing #reasonableadjustments

What's the best way for employers to attract and retain top talent? Here's some clues: 🙅♂️ It's not a cash bonus, nor is it a free lunch. It's not an L&D budget (no surprise given the amount that go unutilised...), and it's not working fewer hours. 👉 It's *just* flexibility over when work is done. Recent insights from Totaljobs, drawn from analysis of >23 million data points, reveal that flexible hours tops the list of the most attractive benefits in the UK for the second consecutive year. Notably, it’s the flexibility of 'when' to work rather than 'where.' But how can you, as an employer, ensure you’re truly offering flexibility? More importantly, how can you showcase your commitment to flexibility to: 1. Minimise costly employee grievances - especially with recent legislative changes 2. Enhance your employer brand - aligning stated values with what top talent truly desires There seems to be a significant gap between what companies promote to attract talent and what these talents genuinely value. 📢 I'm curious... are there any companies out there where utilisation of L&D budgets are high? If so... how? p.s. engagement surveys clearly failing to inform companies correctly here (shock) #EmployerBranding #WorkplaceFlexibility #Leadership #HumanResources #EmployeeSatisfaction #PeopleOps #Retention #HRTech #Futureofwork #Futureofwellbeing #PeopleAnalytics #TotalJobs #Culture #Corporateculture #Benefitdesign #Blinktime Blinktime
