Employee Needs | Managers say staff are becoming more demanding, for good reasons

A quarter of British managers (25%) say their team members have become more demanding in the past year. However, many believe this is a positive change, as it reflects workers’ understanding of their worth, new research from Perkbox Vivup, a global benefits, engagement and wellbeing platform, reveals.

As such, the challenge for managers is how they can adequately meet these changing demands. Notably, 75% say that a more diverse team requires them to take a more varied approach to management but acknowledge the positive business impacts this diversity delivers. Nearly nine in ten (88%) say encouraging team members to bring their authentic selves to work is improving both creativity and innovation.
