– 71% of workers ages 18-29 said they would leave their jobs to work for an employer that has a greater positive impact on society.
2.) 70% of Americans believe offering a four-day, 40-hour workweek, limiting after-hours work expectations, and offering mental health days would increase employee wellbeing.
3.) When considering a new job, 87% of Americans said it is extremely or somewhat important that a company offers flexible work arrangements regarding both location and hours.
