Workers are willing to make trade-offs in pay and location to stay employable and flexible, based on a report from Randstad.
In a survey, two-thirds of workers prioritize greater employability over remote work, with many willing to trade time autonomy for being fully on-site.
Employers have an opportunity to strengthen engagement by offering flexibility and fair policies to attract and retain talent.
Factors like inflation-matching pay increases, strong managerial support, and company values alignment are key for retaining talent in the long term, as identified by Randstad.
