New Research: Flexibility Increases Employees’ Sense of Belonging
<p>A <a href="https://www.ey.com/en_gl/news/2023/09/ey-survey-finds-global-workers-feel-sense-of-belonging-at-their-workplaces-yet-most-are-uncomfortable-sharing-all-aspects-of-their-identities" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">new Ernst & Young survey</a> found that there is a link between flexibility and belonging for global workers. This is important in a continued tight labor market where we already know that a sense of belonging also increases retention, creativity and productivity. Yet, 75% of global respondents reported feeling excluded at work, and 56% feel that they can’t share dimensions of their identity while at work. Lastly, 45% of respondents shared that flexible working, including autonomy in choosing hours and location, was their top motivator for instilling diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within their own teams. For those in leadership roles, flexibility is key to differentiation in today’s workplace.</p>
