Gen Z workforce expects flexibility, forever

The pandemic quickly manifested new ways of working, which, for many, can be from anywhere. It’s a change that has fundamentally shifted employees’ expectations – and they will look to future employers to meet their needs for flexibility in where and how they work. The untethered worker is one example of a new emerging workforce, unattached to a location and willing to explore. The search for meaning includes not just work, but how we live and spend our days. The rise in employee demands and the need to attract talent supports the curiosity-seeking employee in this kind of hybrid lifestyle. At a time when nearly half of businesses will have fully remote workforces, companies can bet on adjusting workplace policies to accommodate untethered employees.
