A recruitment platform connecting companies with untapped, highly qualified talent

People are now realizing that you can't just muscle things back to how they were before the pandemic. We have a new generation entering the workforce that was diagnosed earlier than any generation that preceded them with learning disabilities and mental health conditions. This generation has requested personalized education plans that accommodated their needs and are placing the same demands on their employers as they start their careers.

You can have your cake and eat it too. You can create flexibility that actually leads to increased productivity and retention. It's not an either/or situation. You’re not opening the floodgates or a can of worms that you can’t control. Instead, you can put guardrails around this process, rather than letting it become chaotic and unmanageable.

We need flexibility for women in the middle layers of a company. These are the people who have the institutional knowledge of how things work; they've been here for a significant amount of time. They are in the prime of their careers but also starting families. We don’t want to lose them. If they had more flexibility, retaining them would be much easier. We’ve done a good job in building programs for this, but many other organizations are still struggling.

People have been able to personalize almost every aspect of their lives. Everything is tailored, everything has an algorithm. The pandemic really provided the first opportunity to personalize work for a lot of people. Now, people want to tailor how they work. As long as it makes them productive and makes them more likely to stay — and doesn’t create an extra layer of administrative tasks for their managers — it’s a win.
