<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Driving innovation in the life sciences industry requires a workforce composed of diverse and equitable people possessing multifaceted perspectives and experiences. Achieving this, however, is a challenging mandate, and </span><a href="https://www.srgtalent.com/us/salary-survey"><span lang="EN"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">SRG and New Scientists Job's 2024 Global Talent Trends &amp; Insights Report</span></span></a><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> reveals that organizations are making inconsistent gains in their efforts. We found some notable steps forward in some areas and setbacks in others. The data confirms employers should redouble efforts to attract and retain a diverse and engaged workforce.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">First the good news: we uncovered encouraging data around pay equity for women. Gains were made in all three regions of the world we tracked. This is commendable as STEM employers have long strived to attract female talent and pay them the same rate as men. On the other hand, racial diversity continues to struggle in North America, as only a small portion of STEM jobs are filled by black and Hispanic/Latino workers. Not only are their numbers small in the STEM workforce, but their average salaries are among the lowest. It&rsquo;s a statistic that could hamper the industry&rsquo;s goals of attracting a more diverse candidate pool.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Organizations leading in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&amp;I) practices will likely achieve a more equitable and inclusive workforce and reap the benefits. According to </span><span lang="EN"><a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/diversity-and-inclusion/diversity-matters-even-more-the-case-for-holistic-impact"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1155cc; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">McKinsey</span></a></span><u><span style="color: #1155cc; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">,</span></u><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> the top quartile of these companies are 27% more likely to outperform financially, while the bottom quartile are 24% less likely. So not only is having a diverse and equitable workforce the right thing to do, but it also makes financial sense.&nbsp;</span></p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Pay Gap Closes for Some</span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In the overall U.S. labor market, women make just 84 cents for every dollar a man makes. For women in STEM fields, achieving pay equity is closer to reality. Our latest data confirms this:</span></p>
<ul>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">In North America, the pay gap in 2023 is down to 8.2%, falling from 20.7% in the previous year.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">The smallest gap was among mid-career scientists (45-54), with a gap of just 4.5%</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">However, the gains have not been consistent, and they remain high in other regions around the world</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Such sizable improvements were not observed in different racial and ethnic groups. Asian scientists, on average, earned the highest salaries at nearly $100k. This was followed by people who identified as two or more races and white workers. Hispanic/Latino employees took home the lowest pay, at just about three-fourths of the highest income, while black workers did slightly better but still ranked among the bottom third.</span></p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Importance of Workforce Diversity to Talent</span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">One of the reasons why companies with leading DE&amp;I practices tend to outperform is a higher level of engagement and satisfaction among their employees. According to <a href="https://www.gallup.com/workplace/395102/drives-culture-belonging.aspx"><span style="color: #1155cc;">Gallup</span></a>, 42% of U.S. workers say a diverse and inclusive organization is important to their consideration of a prospective employer. Moreover, cultivating <a href="https://www.apa.org/topics/healthy-workplaces/fostering-connection"><span style="color: #1155cc;">a sense of belonging at work</span></a> is increasingly seen as a lever of productivity and retention.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This is especially true among younger generations of workers, whose values regarding workplace satisfaction differ markedly from their older peers. Among Gen Z, 83% are swayed by a company&rsquo;s diversity and inclusion efforts, according to </span><span lang="EN"><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesbusinesscouncil/2023/06/09/attracting-and-retaining-gen-z-through-diversity-and-inclusion/"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #1155cc; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Forbes</span></a></span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">. As this generation grows proportionally in the workforce, companies must remain committed to fostering such a corporate culture.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So how can life sciences businesses ensure they align their efforts to the desires and values of their people? There are several critical considerations when building a DE&amp;I strategy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span></span></p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Three key success levers for a STEM workforce</span></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Start with the right data&nbsp;</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Organizations often go just skin-deep when reviewing hiring data. Benchmarks such as diversity of candidate slates and hires tell half the stories. Tracking the advancement of diverse hires once they join the organization, capturing their sentiment on the talent experience, and surveying unsuccessful candidates offer nuanced and actionable insights.</span></p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Seek out more diverse talent pools</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Whether it&rsquo;s conducting early career recruitment or sourcing for more senior talent, an effective talent acquisition strategy should be comprehensive in its scope. This means expanding geographic targets, working with diverse universities, and tapping into affiliation groups. Also, consider a skills-based strategy that eliminates the requirements for college degrees.</span></p>
<h3 class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Lean on employee resource groups (ERGs)</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Leaders can gain valuable insights from their own employees by establishing ERGs. These not only help talent to grow and advance, but they also provide critical feedback to management&mdash;earmark resources, and secure executive support to ensure the success of these groups.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Although the world of work is progressing in creating diverse and inclusive workplaces, it is doing so at an uneven pace. Pay equity still falls short of women&rsquo;s expectations, and many life sciences companies' workplaces still lack true diversity. There is ample evidence that improvements are not only a moral mandate but also a business one.&nbsp;</span></p>

Fraudulent Candidates: Life-Threatening Lies

<h3 dir="ltr">World-famous for its history, distinctive local culture, and sporting prowess, Boston is also a shining light in the U.S. STEM sector &mdash; making it an increasingly desirable destination for STEM professionals.</h3>
<p dir="ltr"><br>The city is fast becoming a world leader in biotech and the life sciences, and the Greater Boston region ranked second for number of life-science employees. It&rsquo;s also the top market for attracting recent grads with life science degrees. And if that&rsquo;s not all, the area is number one for funding from the National Institute of Health (NIH).</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Aside from offering well-paid jobs and countless opportunities for innovation and career progression, the unofficial capital of the New England region also provides a high quality of life. From summer picnics on Boston Common to cheering on the Red Sox at a packed-out Fenway Park, this city has it all.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">With so much on offer, it&rsquo;s little wonder that so many scientists and engineers from across the United States and beyond are moving to the city affectionately known as &ldquo;The Athens of America.&rdquo; Here are seven reasons why Boston is the place to be when it comes to STEM careers.&nbsp;<br><br></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>1) One of the best STEM hubs in the United States</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">Though often playing second-fiddle to better-known tech hubs such as Silicon Valley, San Diego, and Austin, Boston is increasingly making waves in the world of STEM &mdash; particularly in the fields of biotech and the life sciences.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Having first emerged in the mid-1970s, the biotech sector in Boston has grown from strength to strength. Greater Boston is home to almost 1,000 biotechnology companies, ranging from innovative SMEs to multi-billion-dollar pharma organizations.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Many of the STEM organizations located in the Boston region are concentrated around Kendall Square in nearby Cambridge. Cambridge itself is home to over 120 STEM companies and a competitive business environment. In the nearby Longwood Medical and Academic Area, a host of biomedical research companies can also be found.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to a 2019&nbsp;<a href="https://www.massbioed.org/job_trends" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">report</a>&nbsp;from the nonprofit Massachusetts Biotechnology Education Fund, the local biotech industry is projected to add 12,000 more jobs by 2024 &mdash; bringing the total to around nearly 100,000. In all, more than 550 biotech and drug development companies can be found in the state of Massachusetts, with close to 1,400 drugs in development at any one given time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Meanwhile, a prominent&nbsp;<a href="https://wallethub.com/edu/best-worst-metro-areas-for-stem-professionals/9200" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">WalletHub</a> report ranked Boston number 1 in the U.S. for &ldquo;STEM-friendliness&rdquo;, a score that incorporates the city&rsquo;s standardized high school math test scores, the number and quality of engineering universities, male-female disparity in STEM occupations, R&amp;D spending, patents, tech meetups, and summer programs.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Dr RJ Tesi, the CEO/CMO of INmune Bio who moved to Boston from the San Francisco Bay Area in 2015, summarized the city&rsquo;s upward trajectory to&nbsp;<a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/sponsored/massachusetts-biotech/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CThe%20Bay%20Area%20is%20probably,for%20cancer%20and%20Alzheimer's%20disease." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">FiveThirtyEight</a>: &ldquo;The Bay Area is probably the cradle of biotech in the U.S., but [has] lost its mantle to Boston.&rdquo; Take that, Silicon Valley.<br><br></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>2) Competitive salaries</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">Salaries in Boston are among the most competitive in the U.S. and well above the national average. The average salary in Boston is $79,000. For scientists, average salaries range between $105,000 and $120.000.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Despite an abundance of well-paid work, the cost of living in Boston is 48% above the national average. That said, Boston stacks up well for the overall cost of living when compared to the other major STEM hubs: consumer prices (including rent) in Boston are <a href="https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=United+States&amp;city1=Boston%2C+MA&amp;country2=United+States&amp;city2=San+Francisco%2C+CA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">43% cheaper than in San Francisco</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Real estate prices in Boston vary substantially. In the upmarket town of Belmont, the median house price is $813,200. In the popular northern neighborhoods of Chelsea, Everett, and Revere, the median house price is less than $400,000. No matter what your salary or budget, you&rsquo;ll be able to find a neighborhood suited to your immediate and long-term needs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">According to a&nbsp;<a href="https://f.tlcollect.com/fr2/320/19590/Boston_LifeScience_2020_11.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CBRE report</a>, of the region&rsquo;s 706,000 life science workers, 329,000 live in Boston-Cambridge, 239,000 live in mid-distance suburbs, and 138,000 live in the outer suburbs.<br><br></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>3) World-class universities</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">As the home of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Boston metro area is the undisputed educational capital of the United States. More than 250,000 students &mdash; the population of a mid-sized city &mdash; attend college in Boston and Cambridge alone. In total, Massachusetts is home to 122 universities and colleges</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Of the U.S. World &amp; Report&rsquo;s top 100 national universities, <a href="https://f.tlcollect.com/fr2/320/19590/Boston_LifeScience_2020_11.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">seven are located in the Greater Boston area</a>. This gives the city a deep STEM talent pool and a renewable source of qualified labor. No wonder Boston-Cambridge-Newton is a longstanding hotbed of innovation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">For STEM professionals, the city&rsquo;s top-tier academic institutions also provide plenty of employment opportunities. Indeed, prestigious universities like Harvard and MIT, along with local research hospitals, play an important role in the life science and biotech sectors. For those looking to expand their skills and horizons outside of work, Boston&rsquo;s universities also offer a wide range of graduate schemes and learning and development courses.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>4) Epic cultural landmarks</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">Founded in 1630, Boston is America&rsquo;s most historic major city. With heritage and culture lurking around almost every corner, you&rsquo;ll have a long list of things to do and places to see on your days off.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Faneuil Hall is undoubtedly the most popular tourist hotspot in the city. Opened in 1743, this meeting hall and marketplace played a central role in encouraging independence from Great Britain and is considered one of the most important buildings in the country. Nicknamed &ldquo;The Cradle of Liberty,&rdquo; the hall is now a shopping center and forms part of the city&rsquo;s Freedom Trail.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile path through downtown, stretches from the Bunker Hill Monument &mdash; the site of the first battle of the American War of Independence &mdash; to Boston Common. The Common is Boston&rsquo;s equivalent to Central Park and offers verdant escapism from the urban buzz. Despite being a compact city, green spaces are never too far away.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Also offering some respite is the lavish Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, which was based on a Venetian palace and is one of the main attractions in the city. Gardner founded the museum &ldquo;for the education and enrichment of the public forever,&rdquo; and it continues to occupy a central place in the hearts and minds of residents.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Other popular public buildings include the Museum of Fine Arts, one of the oldest art institutions in the country; the John F. Kennedy Presidential Museum and Library, which details the life and legacy of the famous Bostonian statesman; and the Boston Library, with its gorgeous Renaissance Revival architecture.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">In short, you won&rsquo;t be bored of Boston in a hurry.<br><br></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>5) The food &amp; drink scene</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">As a melting pot of cultures from across the globe, Boston serves up a veritable smorgasbord of cuisines to suit even the pickiest of palettes. From Haitian pumpkin soup to Irish stew and a pint of Guinness, the city known as &ldquo;Beantown&rdquo; has a vibrant, constantly evolving food and drink scene.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Without a doubt, the primary culinary staple of Boston is its world-famous fresh seafood. Celebrated local seafood dishes include clam chowder, Boston lobster roll, clam and lobster bakes, fish and chips, and fried clams &mdash; all served year-round. Located on the Freedom Trail, Union Oyster House is a must-visit. This well-known seafood hang-out opened its doors in 1826 and is thought to be the oldest continuously operating restaurant in America.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">With a large Italian-American community, Boston also gives New York a run for its money when it comes to pizza, pasta, and parmesan. The North End of Boston, known as the city&rsquo;s Little Italy, is packed with historic family eateries and bustling bistros &mdash; the perfect place to unwind after a long week in the lab. Some even serve another peculiar local delicacy: lobster pizza.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Aside from the many restaurants, Boston is also known for its fantastic range of bars. Whether it&rsquo;s big-screen sports bars, quiet Sunday brunching, or a bite to eat at a Chinatown food stall, this city really delivers. You can even enjoy a beer and burger at the Bull and Finch Pub &mdash; AKA the&nbsp;Cheers&nbsp;bar, where exterior shots in the eponymous TV show were filmed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>6) The sports scene</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">No discussion about life in Boston can be complete without a nod to its illustrious sporting heritage. With some of the most fanatic fans around, the sports teams representing the "City of Champions" always attract a crowd &mdash; no matter the occasion.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Major-league teams in the city include the hugely successful Boston Celtics of the NBA (fun fact: the sport of basketball was invented in Massachusetts) and the historic Boston Red Sox of the MLB (when in town, don&rsquo;t mention the Yankees!). In the NHL, the Boston Bruins fly the flag for the city.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Just up the road in Foxborough&rsquo;s Gillette Stadium are six-time Super Bowl champions, the world-famous New England Patriots (despite losing Tom Brady, they remain the second-most supported football team in the nation). The ground is shared with the New England Revolution, the state&rsquo;s only professional soccer team and the joint-oldest club in the MLS.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>7) Getting around</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">Serving the metro area&rsquo;s 4 million inhabitants (690,000 of whom are in Boston proper), the effective Massachusetts Bay Transport Authority (MBTA) public transportation network represents an easy commute and a great way to explore the city.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">With an approval rating of 69% among users &mdash; one of the highest nationwide &mdash; the Boston-Cambridge-Newton-MA-NH public transport system was&nbsp;<a href="https://patch.com/massachusetts/boston/how-boston-s-public-transit-system-ranks-nationwide" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ranked fifth in the U.S.</a>&nbsp;by The Fabric Insurance Agency.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">The city&rsquo;s subway, known as the &ldquo;T,&rdquo; runs throughout Boston, into Cambridge, and the nearby suburbs &mdash; offering easy access to all the main attractions. A single basic fare for the T is called a Charlie Ticket and is priced at $2.75. With a Charlie Card (similar to NYC&rsquo;s MetroCard or London&rsquo;s Oyster card), the price for a single trip drops to $2.25.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Aside from the T, regular buses service the harder-to-get-to parts of town, while the MBTA Commuter Rail provides links to 141 stations across Eastern Massachusetts and even parts of Rhode Island. Boston Logan Airport is only 20 minutes away from downtown by public transit.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">Taxis are also widely available and accessible to flag down, while Boston proper&rsquo;s compact size makes it fantastic for walking and cycling. By car, the popular suburbs of Medford, Winthrop, Revere, Somerville, and Everett all offer 30 30-minute or less commutes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><strong>The takeaway</strong></h2>
<p dir="ltr">With its unmistakable identity, thriving civic culture, and an effortless blend of suburban serenity and urban vitality, Boston is undoubtedly one of the most attractive American cities for newcomers. And with a vibrant STEM sector that&rsquo;s only set to grow, the talent pool will only widen.</p>

With well-paid jobs and countless opportunities for innovation and career progression, Boston is fast becoming one of the most desirable destinations for STEM professionals.

Relocating for STEM: 7 reasons to move to Boston for work

<h3>With many employees working remotely due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, knowing how to get the most out of the situation is vital for the workforce's productivity and wellbeing.</h3>
<p>While the idea of working from home&nbsp;<em>sounds</em>&nbsp;appealing, in reality, many of us find it a daunting prospect. Without being surrounded by colleagues for encouragement and empowerment, how are we meant to stay engaged and productive for a prolonged period of time?</p>
<p>On top of this, many workers find themselves confused by their employer&rsquo;s remote working policy. In SRG&rsquo;s&nbsp;<a href="../../../../../../insights/stem-survey">2020 STEM Survey</a>, over 50% of respondents working in the STEM sector were aware of their company&rsquo;s policy around flexible working and working from home, but their ability to access the policy was dependent on their management&rsquo;s interpretation of it.</p>
<p>Of course, it&rsquo;s easy to see why letting people work from home can raise leadership&rsquo;s anxiety levels. Out of sight does not necessarily mean out of mind, and many managers harbour legitimate concerns about the productivity levels of their team when left to their own devices. Thankfully, there are ways such concerns can be addressed.</p>
<p>By nurturing a positive company culture in which internal communications related to work-from-home policies are clear, consistent and avoid being condescending, senior leadership can engender a high level of trust around the subject.</p>
<p>As Kelly Morton, SRG&rsquo;s Managing Director comments:</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;<strong>Everything starts with culture.</strong>&nbsp;At SRG, we have built a business based around putting people first, and creating people strategies around working practices is part of this. While enabling this requires placing a lot of trust in your people, strategies and processes that mitigate potential breaches of trust can easily be implemented.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p dir="ltr">From an individual point of view, a number of small changes to routine can make WFH a more productive and rewarding experience for employees and businesses alike. Before we delve into them in more detail, here are some of the upsides to remote working.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>The benefits of working from home</strong></h2>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>1) Flexibility</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">Once an individual has established working hours with their employer, working from home gives them greater autonomy in both&nbsp;where and&nbsp;<em>how</em>&nbsp;they work. As a general rule, however, remote workers should work according to their organisation&rsquo;s standard hours and cover the core hours to meet business needs.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>2) Improved productivity</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">Contrary to popular belief, recent studies support the idea that working from home actually<em>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/15259-working-from-home-more-productive.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">improves</a></em><a href="https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/15259-working-from-home-more-productive.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;productivity</a>&nbsp;and also reduces stress. People report having more energy due to less commuting and feel more engrossed in their tasks thanks to fewer interruptions and less noise.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>3) Greater job satisfaction</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://archive.acas.org.uk/media/3905/Homeworking---a-guide-for-employers-and-employees/pdf/Homeworking-a-guide-for-employers-and-employees.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">An Acas report</a>&nbsp;showed that its &ldquo;employees who worked from home tended to feel happier in their roles than the staff in the office.&rdquo; This can be attributed to less supervision, greater freedom to move around, increased productivity and less commuting-related stress.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>4) Time and cost savings</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">In the United States, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/interactive/travel-time.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">average one-way commuting time is 26.1 minutes</a>. This means that most people spend up to an hour a day commuting. Aside from taking valuable time out of the working day, commuting also adds up financially. In the UK, the average commuter spends&nbsp;<a href="https://www.yourmoney.com/household-bills/british-workers-spend-492-days-of-their-lives-travelling-to-work/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">almost &pound;70 a month on travelling to and from work</a>. Working from home frees up time and saves people and businesses money.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>5) Improved work-life balance</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">By eliminating the commuting time, having control over the workplace environment and optimising the working day, WFH employees can dedicate more time to non-work activities. Greater work-life balance prevents burnout, irritability and stress &mdash; and creates a happier workforce. And, generally speaking, when people are happier, they are more productive on the job.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>How to make working from home work for you</strong></h2>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>Create a boundary between work life and home life &gt;</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">When working from home on a regular basis, it&rsquo;s important to create a clear distinction between work and leisure. Responding to emails on the sofa may be fine for a while, but quickly becomes uncomfortable and over time will likely affect your posture and wellbeing.</p>
<p>By creating a separate office environment, you&rsquo;ll retain the professional and productive atmosphere of a more traditional workspace &mdash; but also have more privacy and be free of distraction.</p>
<p>Firstly, you need to identify the best place to set up your home office. If you have a rarely-used spare room that doubles up as storage space, then this could be a good option. If you are pushed for space, a kitchen or dining room table serves well.</p>
<p>(If you don&rsquo;t have a spare room and working from home has become business-as-usual, you could consider building an office in your back garden instead. Of course, this depends on budgets, but converted sheds and shipping containers are spacious enough to house an office without taking up too much garden space).</p>
<p>Secondly, it&rsquo;s important to allocate time for non-work responsibilities. Usually take an hour for lunch in the office? Do the same at home. Usually finish up at 5pm on the dot? Aim to shut your laptop at that time.</p>
<p>While it can be tempting to try and get some errands done while working from home (e.g putting the washing on, tidying up or cleaning the kitchen), make sure it doesn&rsquo;t eat into your pre-planned working hours.</p>
<p>On the flip side, make sure you properly switch off at the end of the working day. Without a commute to worry about, it can often be appealing to work long into the evening. However, this merely eats into personal or family time and can negatively affect your sleep schedule.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>Maximise what you already have &gt;</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ideally, you need to be free from distractions. If you can&rsquo;t create your own work zone and have to share with other family members or cohabitants, have a frank discussion around how you like to work and reach as many compromises as possible. This will help make for a smoother, more productive day.</p>
<p>Thankfully, most work nowadays is carried out and stored digitally and/or online. However, if you need to store paper copies for documents, maximise your space by storing paperwork in file dividers or boxes.</p>
<p>Finally, it&rsquo;s important that your workstation is optimised for performance and productivity. If you can, set up your desk near a window, invest in an ergonomic chair for comfort and make sure any accessories are not disruptive to your workflow. Ensure your lighting keeps you awake and alert while reducing eye strain, and aim to maintain a room temperature of between between 16C and 24C.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><strong>Be mindful of your mental health &gt;</strong></h3>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<p>When we don&rsquo;t have an office to show up to, we miss out on opportunities for regular social interaction and connection with colleagues. As the Chicago-based clinical psychologist, Ryan Hooper told the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/working-from-home-mental-health_n_5afd88e2e4b0a59b4e014602?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAL9ELcpSDSiQmQO3FV0hk414a53Mpf3Ab53z7RdgrtCVIgFA5sQnl3uoS2ayJCHL6ub4d40oRPAVJOtUcfhf1LpeOolIdi_MYgatfZazZQ6IMw85-6JPZnDV9VU8P1mONHNTeA2wnDut8a24Hqlwf_JFHeHg58TD-txNW4HwA6gK" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Huffington Post</a>, &ldquo;for some people, the feedback and encouragement loop of the work environment is critical to their jobs.&rdquo; Indeed, a&nbsp;<a href="https://buffer.com/state-of-remote-work-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2019 report by the software development agency Buffer</a>&nbsp;found that loneliness was the second-most reported challenge for remote workers.</p>
<p>While businesses need to ensure their online communication strategy is in place to keep teams as united and in the loop as possible, the actions of individuals can also bolster interactions and help to reduce feelings of isolation.</p>
<p>Setting up daily Skype video calls at structured times, for example, will help to reintegrate workers who are used to face-to-face interactions. The video aspect is important because managers and team leaders will be able to visually monitor how their team is fairing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Aside from regular check-ins with colleagues, it&rsquo;s important to keep your spirits up and your mind calm. Exercise is one such way to give your brain and body a much-needed boost (if you're self-isolating, indoor exercises such as push-ups and yoga are a good substitute for outdoor activities such as jogging), as is meditation. Keeping plants and family photos around your workstation can also give you a boost.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>The key takeaways</strong></h2>
<p>These are undoubtedly stressful times. For many people, getting to grips with a new WFH arrangement is only adding to the stress. As Alison Jones, Regional Manager at SRG acknowledges:</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;Working from home might lead to increased anxiety or stress because of the perceived pressure to appear busy. People can start to feel like they need to be constantly online, making themselves available or otherwise prove that they are spending their time productively.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>With a few small changes, however, remote working can be something of a blessing amid the constant news cycle. To summarise:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Establish a work zone.&nbsp;</strong>Creating a working environment that&rsquo;s conducive to productivity will help you focus and maintain your wellbeing.</li>
<li><strong>Stick to a routine.&nbsp;</strong>A consistent routine can punctuate the day and halt unhelpful procrastination. Set clearly defined working hours and try not to work outside of them. Dressing slightly smarter than you would when relaxing at home can also help you feel more professional and engaged.</li>
<li><strong>Practice self-care.&nbsp;</strong>Make time for exercise and relaxation. You need to be able to disconnect from work at times in the day to help you feel refreshed and motivated.</li>
</ul>

<h2>What are the core pillars of a managed service programme or contingent workforce solution?</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By using a vendor management system, a robust managed service programme provides complete oversight into the status of each contingent worker at your company &mdash; optimising contingent workforce management and driving performance through people, processes, and technology.</p>
<details>
<summary>The core components of a managed service programme include:</summary>
<ul>
<li>Management of the non-permanent workforce (timesheets, payroll, etc.)</li>
<li>Qualified pools of talented candidates</li>
<li>An efficient recruitment process</li>
<li>Supplier management</li>
<li>Contract management</li>
<li>Candidate selection</li>
<li>Data-driven analysis</li>
<li>Invoice management</li>
<li>Frequent progress reports</li>
<li>Business reviews</li>
<li>Payrolling</li>
<li>HR management</li>
<li>Metrics dashboard</li>
</ul>
</details>

<h2>What is a Managed Service Provider (MSP)?</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A managed service provider (MSP) or contingent workforce solution (CWS), manages the temporary worker recruitment for an organisation and is responsible for the end-to-end management of the contingent workforce - from supplier management and strategic workforce planning to contractor care and offboarding.</p>
<p>In the recruitment industry, the term &lsquo;MSP&rsquo; can refer to either a managed service programme OR a managed service provider. The difference between the two is that a managed service programme is a contingent workforce solution (CWS), while a managed service provider is a specialist who delivers this solution.</p>
<p>In other words, &lsquo;managed service programme&rsquo; and &lsquo;contingent workforce solution&rsquo; can be used interchangeably to describe the service offered by a managed service provider like SRG. To avoid further confusion, we&rsquo;ll stick to full terms from here on out.</p>

<h2>What are the benefits of a managed service provider or contingent workforce solution?</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In an increasingly competitive contingent talent market, turning to a managed service programme brings several key benefits to a business.</p>
<details class="mce-accordion">
<summary><strong>Control</strong></summary>
<p>Hiring managers can easily acquire strong talent thanks to streamlined, standardised processes across all suppliers &mdash; driving down time-to-hire.</p>
</details>
<details class="mce-accordion">
<summary><strong>Visibility</strong></summary>
<p>You&rsquo;ll gain oversight of the entire contingent workforce via a tailored VMS that provides regular reporting and a clear audit trail.</p>
</details>
<details class="mce-accordion">
<summary><strong>Compliance and risk mitigation.</strong></summary>
<p>&nbsp;With external experts managing all legislative and governance requirements, you&rsquo;ll be brought up to speed on compliance best practices and ensure your business is fully compliant.</p>
</details>
<details class="mce-accordion">
<summary><strong>Supply chain efficiency</strong></summary>
<p>By running all contractor and supplier engagement through a single trusted provider, you&rsquo;ll significantly reduce administrative burden.</p>
</details>
<details class="mce-accordion">
<summary><strong>Agility</strong></summary>
<p>With the experience of a managed service provider to call upon, you can better respond to market shifts and improve efficiencies &mdash; making your organisation more agile in the process.</p>
</details>
<details class="mce-accordion">
<summary><strong>Cost savings</strong></summary>
<p>A managed service provider will secure substantial cost savings through exercises such as supply base reduction and staffing benchmarking.</p>
</details>
<details class="mce-accordion">
<summary><strong>Scalability</strong></summary>
<p>Working with an extensive supplier base, a managed service provider can find you alternative sources of talent when your supply chain fails to deliver &mdash; enabling you to scale your programme up or down according to your immediate business needs.</p>
</details>
<details class="mce-accordion">
<summary><strong>Governance</strong></summary>
<p>Ensuring internal mandating of rates, compliance, and processes.</p>
</details>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Utilising a managed service provider is a win-win for any business with a sizeable temporary workforce. By building relationships with your business users to understand the ins and outs of your organisation, a dedicated team of industry experts manages your suppliers, sources top talent, and drives best practices on your behalf.</p>

<p>One of the most effective ways a business can successfully manage its contingent workforce is by calling on the expertise of a third-party solutions provider &mdash; particularly one with a dedicated account management team, an optimised vendor management system (VMS), and a focus on control and cost savings.</p>

Managed Service Provider &amp; Contingent Workforce Solutions

<h2>Is an MSP solution right for my business?</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While contingent working has grown at a phenomenal pace in recent years, finding top contingent talent with the most critical skills is an increasingly costly and time-consuming process. With contingent workers (ie. non-employees) making up 40% of the workforce, being able to attract the best talent is crucial.</p>
<p>If your organisation has a medium-to-large contingent workforce, a managed service programme is the ideal solution. Whether you&rsquo;re looking to improve visibility, compliance,&nbsp;or control, or simply want a fresh recruitment strategy with a new partner, we can build a solution that works for your business.</p>
<p>Managed service provider solutions don&rsquo;t work for every business, particularly those without sizeable contingent workforces. If you&rsquo;re a scaleup or a startup with a smaller contingent workforce, one of our other recruitment services may prove a better fit.</p>
