The new flexibility brings companies and candidates closer together

A report by Indeed and YouGov has found that a new type of flexibility in the workplace is emerging, combining flexible work arrangements and roles, including remote work and freelance or contract work. This trend is particularly popular among younger generations, such as Gen Z, who prioritize flexibility and autonomy in their work.

According to the report, 87% of companies worldwide consider an agile workforce to be crucial to their business goals, and 64% of job seekers agree. In Italy, 28% of job seekers identify as flexible workers, and 56% of companies employ occasional workers, with many citing flexibility and work-life balance as key motivations. The report also notes that Italy is more skeptical of AI than other countries, with 70% of employers and 45% of job seekers believing it benefits both companies and workers.
