Hiring has returned with a vengeance. Yet, many employers are struggling to fill positions or even get qualified applicants. How can companies attract and retain workers in a Post-Covid job market?

To find out how this unconventional period has shaped workers’ wants, Zippia conducted their 2021 Job Seeker Report.

They surveyed 500 workers from diverse industries across the United States to answer the question, “What do workers want (and expect) in a post-Covid job market?”

The results? Flexibility is no longer a want in the workplace, for many workers it is now a necessity.

Key Findings:

• 76% of currently employed workers are casually or actively job hunting.
• 50% of workers say working remotely is their ideal work environment, more than any other option.
• The most desired job benefit is “flexible work environment.”
• Flexible work environments are followed by health insurance (59%), remote work(58%), and retirement benefits(46%) as the most desired benefits.
• Only 11% of workers said availability of remote work in some capacity wasn’t important at all to them.
