Salary and Trends. A change in the way we work. COVID-19 has changed the way we work. The expectations of employees and candidates have shifted; flexible, remote working is not only possible – it’s a priority for many. We are seeing this translate into market extremes. Some businesses have reverted to a traditional pre-COVID-19 ‘officebased, 8am - 5pm, five days’ work-week. Other organisations are still working entirely remotely, and surrendering their office leases. Another trend is the concept of an ‘anchor day’ - where an entire team is expected to be in the office together one day a week. However, this impacts the hiring of remote talent as it requires employees to be within travelling distance of the office once a week. In-between the extremes, many businesses are adopting varying degrees of flexible working arrangements, and creative working options to accommodate and reflect the changing expectations of top Accounting and Finance talent.
