This makes for a highly engaging and innovative culture – and one where their colleagues are empowered to achieve the best possible results, for each other and for their clients.

The Future of Work

The future of work is changing. The pace of life is such that work and personal responsibilities often blend in a way that can make traditional work arrangements a challenge to manage. Willis Towers Watson knows from global studies and research that there are significant benefits of flexible working and not every job or role requires a seat in the office during set hours. Flexible work can take many forms including:

  • Part-time or reduced hour schedule
  • Compressed work weeks
  • Job sharing
  • Flexible hours
  • Unpaid sabbatical
  • Hoteling

Technology advancements, such as faster, more reliable connectivity, Skype and instant messaging have made remote working a very viable option in many cases. The benefits are many but in particular, there is an expanded candidate pool and greater diversity in their workforce including executive leadership positions.

Successful flexible working arrangements work well for both the colleague and the company particularly when they are well planned and both parties are committed to making it work. WTW has teamed up with FlexCareers to share their opportunities with candidates who are seeking flexible employers.
