Post-pandemic attitudes to flexible working
It is now nearly four years since the UK 昀椀rst went into
lockdown in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
At the height of the crisis, remote working was a necessity for many organisations if they wanted to continue
doing business, and many adapted their policies and
processes quickly during a time of great dif昀椀culty.
But what lasting impact has this era of increased
昀氀exibility had on the workplace?
Nationwide, four in every ten employers have
reported a rise in flexible working requests since the
pandemic. Our data shows a similar pattern, with 29%
of employers saying they are receiving more part-time
and 昀氀exible working requests from compliance and
昀椀nancial crime professionals.
The number of candidates who claim they would
consider leaving a job if they weren’t allowed their
preferred hybrid working model has also remained
broadly consistent from last year (70% in 2023 versus
72% in 2022).
