She continued: “The introduction of work life balance arrangements in companies of all sizes is a key factor in the retention of skilled workers and in maintaining strong levels of productivity.”
Sorohan pointed to a recent IrishJobs.ie survey which found that already half of those seeking a new job in 2008 have applied for a new position. Confidence among jobseekers was high with 70 per cent saying they are confident of finding a good position elsewhere. Significantly, 74 per cent of workers surveyed by IrishJobs.ie said that greater flexibility in work is crucial.
IrishJobs.ie has seen record levels of traffic and job applications made through the website this January. Sorohan commented, “January is typically a busy month for jobseekers and this year has been exceptionally active for the IrishJobs.ie website.
Employers need to look at flexible working arrangements and in turn will reap the benefits of increased loyalty and happier, more productive employees”
She continued: “IrishJobs.ie has an interest in the pressing issues affecting all jobseekers in both the workplace and socially. On site we provide a Work Life Coach for jobseekers with the aim of providing work life balance support. This service is free.”
