- Deel just launched LinkedIn Poll Trends and Insights on the World of Work, capturing the preferences of 57,000 professionals worldwide.
- Q&A topics ranged from typical digital behaviors to preferences for managing work, vacations, and career management.
Global payroll and HR company Deel conducted a report that reflects the preferences and perspectives of over 57,000 professionals who form its LinkedIn community. Through several weekly surveys, it’s evident that the norms of work etiquette around the world are evolving.
Some key findings from the survey include:
- Face-to-face connection matters: Seeing the person you’re speaking with creates a slightly more genuine connection, especially with someone rarely seen in person. 36% always keep their camera on, while only 10% prefer to simply offer their voice. Additionally, 36% of workers choose to display a customized background or image, while 13% prefer a plain wall background.
- Online courtesy is key: 32% of respondents consider two minutes as the maximum acceptable delay for joining a call, while 20% believe up to four minutes is reasonable without being disrespectful.
- Vacation time is important: Nearly half of professionals believe three to four weeks per year is a reasonable amount of time off. However, when it comes to disconnecting, nothing seems quite enough: 42% feel that more than five to six weeks is the ideal.
- Notifications are too much: Staying updated with what’s happening in the organization is important. However, 30% of workers turn off notifications, and 20% only respond when directly mentioned. Only 25% regularly check notifications as they arrive.
- One year is a good target for promotion: The time it takes to be eligible for a promotion remains crucial in professionals’ perceptions. Over half of respondents (51%) feel one year is an appropriate period to be considered for advancement.
- Career hopping has become commonplace: Three to five years is what 66% of people consider ideal for staying in the same job. Gone are the days when individuals aimed to “build a career” within one company.
- Flexible work options rule: 73% of respondents believe all companies should offer flexible work arrangements.
