No company wishes to lose out on hiring the best talent.

To end up being one of the very best, openness is expected throughout all stages of the talent technique. This implies leveraging the right innovation and tools to support human proficiencies and building a strong employer brand name based on them.

Diversity (DEI), versatility, transparency and the rise of relatable organisations are the keywords in focus for employer brands in 2024.

We have actually seen a lot of change throughout 2023.

Meanwhile, jobseekers’ need for remote work stays strong, but our data reveals that the more versatility companies provide staff around working locations, the more popular they are amongst prospects.

The timeless Mon-Fri is taking a rear seat. More and more companies are presenting an alternative technique, that includes variations of the 4-day week, the 4.5-day week, and the 9-day fortnight.
Demand for the 4-day work week has skyrocketed, with an average of 47.4% of Flexa users listing it as their favored way of working throughout October. During the very same duration, 37.5% picked the 4.5-day week as their preference, and 14.1% stated the 9-day fortnight was theirs.
