A better work-life balance was the main reason given by 26% of employees for changing jobs in the last year, despite continuous attempts to promote a healthy work-life balance. Employees identified shorter commutes and flexible work schedules as crucial elements in creating this balance, reports Breaking News.
At the moment, 40% of workers are entirely office-based, while 45% operate in a mixed paradigm. Nonetheless, 55% of Irish companies mandate that employees report to work at least twice or three times a week.
Just 18% of companies provide flexible work arrangements that let workers decide how many days a week they would want to work from home as opposed to in person.
The study emphasises how strongly Irish firms are committed to enhancing work-life balance and satisfying the desire for hybrid working. Interestingly, 47% of businesses think that hybrid working has helped them retain more employees, and 74% of employers think that hybrid working will not change in the upcoming year, reports Breaking News.
Employers also choose other elements, including pay, benefits packages, a favourable work atmosphere, and chances for professional growth, that aid in luring and keeping employees, reports Breaking News.
