What Matters

The theme of our newsletter this month is flexibility. ?The push to force workers back into the office has been international news of late with some of the World's biggest and most powerful companies and governments putting their foot down around employees returning to the office. They take the view that remote working was very much a temporary measure brought on by the pandemic. ?It's fair to say that this view is not shared by all and this month we focus on flexibility, its importance with attracting and retaining candidates and how your business can manage remote workers effectively from the outset.
