As per the study of 1,000 senior business decision-makers and 6,000 workers in North America and Europe, the top three goals are flexible working (47%), rewards and recognition (43%), and cost of living assistance (40%). In fact, 88 percent of global business decision-makers believe that flexible working has a positive impact on staff retention and recruitment, an 11-point increase from 2021.

The following are some of the study’s significant findings:

• Flexible and hybrid working continues to be the norm, with 58 percent of respondents in the United States saying they do not work from an office full time and 51 percent saying they only work in an office two to four days a week.
• It is critical to have the correct tools to operate from anywhere. Specifically, 80 percent of U.S. workers and 82 percent internationally say that not having the proper tech accessories to execute their job will negatively affect their job happiness and productivity. Many organizations that allow flexible working circumstances, however, do not provide their workers with the technology they need to work effectively remotely, such as a keyboard, mouse, headphones, supplementary monitor(s), and hub. A yearly budget allocation for purchasing accessories was chosen as one of the top five measures to improve workplace wellness.
• Businesses and consumers are increasingly emphasizing sustainability, with more than 53% of worldwide respondents indicating that sustainable qualities affect their purchase decisions for tech accessories. In the United States alone, 62 percent of individuals are willing to pay more for sustainable items that endure longer, and 72 percent say they buy less fast fashion and more long-lasting products.
