What will the world of work be like in 2022? Unfortunately, we cannot expect a world where COVID-19 is not still shaping our lives. More cautious than ever, companies are now facing new aspects of the pandemic, adapting ways of working again. However, there are also positive changes they are implementing. According to Luis Vidrio, Sales Director of Indeed Mexico, among these new trends we can highlight the consolidation of the hybrid work model, flexible hours and the reestablishment of the focus on employee well-being. “There appears to be a new understanding among human resources professionals about how to get the best out of employees, including in terms of productivity, which relates primarily to individual health, mental and physical, rather than solely corporate goals,” he commented.
With this new management logic taking over, these are some of the trends that Indeed believes will be present in the job market this year. 1. Remote/hybrid workplaces and flexible schedules The new waves of the pandemic delayed the expectations of many companies to return to the office and, just when a “new Saudi Arabia Mobile Number List normal” presented us with the possibility of changing “where” we worked, in 2022 companies seem to be open to being more flexible about “ when” we work too. In a recent survey conducted in Mexico with more than 730 Mexican professionals, Indeed found that, for 64% of respondents, productivity increased since working from home. According to Vidrio, companies seem to be understanding that formalities such as marking hours and sitting at an office desk do not guarantee commitment to the work done.
In fact, 36% of respondents suggest that more employers should design jobs with flexible work options built in from the start, in addition to adopting modern measures such as the 4-day work week, unlimited vacation and unpaid sabbatical leave.” , he added. 2. Mental health and well-being among priorities On the other hand, new work models also brought up issues of mental health and well-being, not always with many positive data. The same survey cited above found that 21% of respondents felt their mental health had deteriorated while working remotely, and 25% said they did not feel supported by their employer. This is not a new issue and over the past year and a half, companies have used different tactics to address employee health issues. Mental health days, free or subsidized therapy and even providing time off can be highlighted as some of the main practical actions taken.
