Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 30, 2014 -- Customer Contact Strategies has collected data from 2000+ companies relating to their their home-based and flexible working programs. Expanded applicant pools are a universal high value return. "The uptake in applicant flow is dramatically changing the hiring demographics for contact centers and support functions," says Michele Rowan, President.
Organizations offering home-based positions and flexible working arrangements also log material improvements in employee satisfaction (20% higher scores), retention (35-50% reduction in turnover), and attendance (25% lower sick rate).
Marketing to new audiences, and choosing the right candidates is what makes it all go, according to Rowan. "HR teams that develop innovative, multi-media marketing activities achieve the best returns. It's no longer about posting a job on a job board - those days are behind us."
