We all have a couple of years of pandemic experience under our belts now, and the ground we stand on is beginning to feel a little more solid. With proven plans in place, and an exciting schedule of new strategies and products lined-up, the future is looking a lot more assured.<\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, we were curious about how recent events have affected our B2B customers and business partners, and what factors have influenced their plans for 2022. We decided to reach out to them with a survey covering aspects such as recruitment, working practices, marketing and their plans for growth. \u00a0As well as satisfying our own curiosity, we knew that the data would provide some interesting insights for our business customers.<\/p>\n<p>The results were encouraging, with businesses of all sizes heading into 2022 with an optimistic spring in their step. Our fascinating findings also challenged some widespread notions about suppressed recruitment, performance and marketing activity. Here are some noteworthy highlights from the data.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Recruitment and working practices<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It seems popular to claim that recruitment is nigh-on impossible right now. However, while 40% of our respondents <em>are<\/em> finding recruitment more of a challenge now than before the pandemic, a solid 60% are finding it easier or the same.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Recruitment-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-71870\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Recruitment-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"899\" height=\"514\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Recruitment-1q-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-71888\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Recruitment-1q-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"896\" height=\"222\" \/><\/a>When we asked about the methods employers are using to entice new recruits, we saw a markedly strong showing for &#8216;flexible working&#8217;. Widespread shifts in working practices during the pandemic taught employers that it&#8217;s possible to offer far greater flexibility without compromising on productivity. An added bonus is that flexible working practices are a great way to attract job applicants. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Recruitment-1q.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-71871\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Recruitment-1q.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"898\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Recruitment-2q.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-71873\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Recruitment-2q.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"895\" height=\"332\" \/><\/a>By offering remote working, recruiters can cast their net over a far greater geographical area. A staggering 90% of our respondents had introduced remote working during the pandemic, with 77% of those feeling that it had benefitted their business as a whole.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Remote1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-71874\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Remote1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"898\" height=\"539\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Remote1q.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-71875\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Remote1q.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"897\" height=\"233\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While remote working has been a surprise success story thanks to benefits around flexibility and recruitment, most of the businesses we spoke to have been happy to welcome colleagues back into the office.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Remote2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-71876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Remote2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"898\" height=\"540\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Remote2q.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-71877\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Remote2q.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"895\" height=\"222\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When we asked about how a return to work has affected morale and creativity, we got a positive, albeit slightly mixed, response. The next step for employers could be to assess where remote working was successful and where benefits were gained from returning to shared workspaces. The good news is that so many businesses are now in an informed position to strike the perfect balance between home and on-site working.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Morale1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-71864\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Morale1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"898\" height=\"540\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Morale1q.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-71865\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solopress.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Morale1q.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"898\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Customer Demand<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Of course, events of the past two years have had a wide ranging impact on the performance of businesses across many sectors.
