Use flexible working to improve employee retention and attraction

The option to work remotely is a huge factor employee attraction and retention, yet many are failing to keep staff informed of their options.

That's according to Jacqui Keep, Head of Content and Marketing at Powwownow. Speaking exclusively to HR Grapevine, she is quick to note the importance of highlighting flexibility during the recruitment process.

“There has been a huge cultural shift in the workplace over recent years, which we believe will only continue to grow. As a conference calling service provider, we have seen first-hand how technology has revolutionised the way we do business. These innovations in technology will only continue, facilitating and streamlining the way employees stay connected to their business from any place, at any time.”

Recent research indicates that very few companies that offer remote working opportunities are making staff and candidates aware of it.
