Employers and employees have significantly different perceptions on flexibility

To understand this better Workforce Software conducted a survey that measured employee experience in areas like scheduling flexibility, pay policies, and assistance with personal circumstances.

In almost every category, employers and employees had significantly different perceptions – employers reported implementing flexible and rewarding policies and practices, but employees tended to disagree.

Key findings of the survey

• Most employees prefer to work for an organization that addresses their individual needs with scheduling flexibility and tailored pay structures.
• A sizable number of employees feel that they don’t receive adequate job training, scheduling flexibility, or task-based pay structures from their employers.
• Employees who use online portals report having more scheduling flexibility and greater levels of recognition by their organizations.
• A significant percentage of employees feel their employers have not effectively adapted to the unique scheduling challenges of the pandemic.
• These perceived deficits in the employee experience are hurting engagement as well, thus limiting an organization’s agility.
