The second salient point of the survey is the expectation of a better work-life balance through systematic and structural changes.
The flexibility to work from home or any location that suits the employee, improving work-life balance through systematic and structural changes, and managerial empathy and psychological safety are some of the key changes employees want in their workplace after Covid-19.
These are the conclusions of a survey carried out by the human resources consulting firm Marching Sheep, aimed at assessing the evolution of employee expectations in all sectors.
The main expectation that emerged from the survey, said Marching Sheep, is to give employees the option to work from home or any location that suits them, with 81% of respondents wanting flexibility in terms of where to work. work. “The second wave touched every employee, every family in one way or another, making us realize the importance of staying close to our loved ones, making flexibility a key demand of employees today. Flexibility not only in terms of location, but also time and role. Organizations need to look at all of these aspects of flexibility, ”the survey notes.
The second salient point of the survey is the expectation of a better work-life balance through systematic and structural changes. “According to our survey, almost 49% of those polled expect their employers to focus on work-life balance by making changes in daily working methods. In response, we’ve seen many organizations introduce concepts such as “zero hour,” “no Friday meeting,” and “care leave” and “silent hours” to help employees balance work and home, ”said Marching Sheep.
The third strong point is managerial empathy and psychological safety, with 47% of respondents expecting their leaders to empathize and create a psychologically safe work environment. “Not only the leader, but the organization as a whole must have a culture that values empathy. Organizations need to generate numbers and market share, but they also need to strike a balance between the business, the employees and the overall purpose of the organization, ”the survey noted.
In addition, 44% of respondents expect their employers to focus on supporting health care for themselves and their families. The effect of the second wave of the pandemic was much closer to home and more severe than the first wave. “The people around us, our friends and our family have been affected by this, so it is important for organizations to act in response to this expectation of employees,” he noted.
Finally, retraining, development and career advancement opportunities are another area of interest. “We see how organizations collaborate with e-learning platforms and encourage their employees to learn new skills that will help organizations as well as employees in their careers. “
