Flexible work hours, sabbaticals becoming top job perks as employees stay home

NL Times  

The coronavirus pandemic had a significant impact on the Dutch labor market, not only for what jobs are available, but also on the perks offered. "Working from home", "sabbatical", and "flexible hours" are terms now used much more often on vacancies, according to job site Indeed, which compared the secondary employment conditions in current vacancies to similar vacancies last year, AD reports. The use of the term "working from home" increased by a massive 716 percent compared to last year, "sabbatical" by 194 percent, "flexible hours" by 190 percent, and "paid parental leave" by 117 percent. Although the situation may soon return to 'normal', there will certainly be a change with regard to working from home," Vissers said. As a result, conditions such as flexible working hours, paid parental leave or a sabbatical are increasingly common."
