To #BreakTheBias ManpowerGroup is calling for more companies to respond to What Women Want at Work – new data shows autonomy, career progression and feeling motivated / passionate about the work they do matters most!
As we look to the post-pandemic world of work, employers who provide choice, flexibility and performance-over-presenteeism will attract and keep the best diverse talent, all while driving the skills and growth agendas.
Both women (at 39%) and men (slightly lower at 37%) are feeling the effects of the pandemic. People want employers to offer more – to prioritize wellbeing and purpose, while providing flexibility, competitive pay, good working conditions and skills development.
Mental fitness will be increasingly prioritized, expanding traditional health and safety exponentially. A mass movement to break the stigma of silence will require employers to be explicit about their increased duty of care – protecting mental health as well as wealth (financial health).
Now is the time to reimagine a new future of work. If the 5-day week were phased out, what would women (and men) choose?
