PEO Insider: Businesses Must Evolve to Changing Workplace

Transforming amidst the changing workplace landscape is essential for businesses to meet the demands of today’s employees, writes G&A Partners’ HR Advisor Deanna M. Martin in the PEO Insider’s October issue.

In the article “Redefine, Transform, Reimagine: Meeting Evolving Employee Demands,” Martin writes that businesses must meet workforce expectations “to remain attractive employers and retain top talent.”

One example of a recent workplace shift is in the desire for flexibility and remote work.

“Today’s employees now desire a career that support their lifestyle, centering more around flexibility in work schedules and, if they work on location, how far they have to commute,” writes Martin. “For employees, this flexibility allows the necessary balance between their work and personal life.”

Employees are also seeking more transparency from company leadership, which comes from a culture that promotes open communication and accountability.

“Trust in leadership is closely tied to transparency and ethical behavior,” writes Martin in the article. “Employees expect leaders to act with integrity, which includes being open about company practices and decisions. Transparency is demonstrated through a company culture that encourages sharing information and accountability at all levels of leadership.”
