Want employees to stick around? Get this right
Jobs | Hybrid work
October 11, 2021 – Executives who mishandle the transition to a hybrid-work model or fail to offer one are at risk of losing otherwise satisfied employees. Our latest employer and employee survey results unveiled that almost 90 percent of employees who took new jobs didn’t have to relocate because so many more companies are “location agnostic.”

Visual form
Single-panel dot-matrix chart.
Layout / body structure
The chart is built as one centered 100-dot array with the larger majority clustered in blue and a smaller contrasting slice at the bottom in dark dots. Reader takes the top statement and 87 label first, then the lower 13 label and caption beneath the circle.
What is being compared
The chart compares two job-location arrangements for respondents who took a new job in a different city or state. One option is taking the job while being allowed to work remotely, and the other is taking the job and having to move.
Measurement system
The measurement is percent of respondents, represented as a 100-dot icon array. The count is shown directly with the labels 87 and 13, so each dot functions like roughly one percentage point of the total.
Visible structure inside the graphic
A large circular field of dots fills most of the center, with blue dots dominating the upper and middle area and a compact dark arc at the bottom for the minority response. The two text labels are stacked above and below the circle, anchoring the majority and minority slices to their meanings.
Main takeaway from the visual
The dot matrix shows that remote flexibility dominates this choice: an overwhelming majority would take a job in a different place if they could work remotely rather than relocate.
Key standout values or extremes
The chart is anchored by the split of 87 percent versus 13 percent. The 87 percent remote-allowed group visually occupies nearly the entire circle, while the move-required group is compressed into a small bottom segment.
