A new HSBC survey has found that businesses are looking to achieve 20% growth in the next 12 months, and a majority (70%) of businesses plan to hire more staff. While salary and benefits are still seen as the top factor in moving jobs by almost half (46%) of business leaders, many see flexible working policies as the deciding factor (39%), or physical, mental, and financial well-being (36%). Flexible working is seen as a particular boost for wellbeing, with 39% of leaders arguing flexible working arrangements were a key driver for both attracting and retaining staff. The top benefit of remote or hybrid working, they noted, was its potential to boost employee wellbeing.
