Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce issued the following announcement on April 12.
Only 39% of employees globally and 43% of U.S. workers say their current company is meeting their needs, according to management consulting firm Mercer's Global Talent Trends 2022 report, which captured survey responses from workers in 13 industries and 16 countries.
"By and large, people's needs in the workplace are not being met today," says Kate Bravery, global practices leader for Mercer's careers business.
One new non-negotiable? Flexibility. "People have begun to realize that flexible work is not just a benefit," Bravery says. "It's a new operating model."
Almost one-third of employees say flexibility is the biggest reason they stay with their employers, Mercer's survey found. One in 3 respondents say they would forgo a pay raise if they could have more control over their work location and hours.
Companies that focus on employee's career advancement goals also see improved engagement and less turnover.
Join us Monday, May 2nd at 9:30 a.m. CDT to hear more from Mercer's Megan Connolly on the 2022 Global Talent Trends report and how you can retain your best employees by boosting engagement.
