The pandemic gave workers a taste of flexible, remote and hybrid working. If you want to compete for and retain the best talent, you may want to consider how you can help your staff work the way they want to. This will help you attract talented workers who may be juggling work with childcare commitments, school runs, or other caring responsibilities. It also enables you to access talent in a greater geographical area. For example someone based in Leeds could work for a London-based company, travelling in to the office once a month.
