In 2024, work flexibility is no longer a luxury—it’s a must-have. A 2024 survey by Gallup found that employees who have flexible work options report higher levels of productivity, with 56% of employees stating that they are more productive when working from home or having flexible hours compared to traditional in-office setups. And this demand is crystal clear on The Muse, where 30% of the most-searched benefits are focused on remote or flexible work options. Workers are no longer just asking for flexibility—they’re prioritizing it as a key factor in their job satisfaction and overall well-being.
Work flexibility is just one of the categories we highlight in the 2024 VIBE Awards, celebrating the companies that are excelling in employee benefits. “VIBE” stands for “Voted In By Employees,” and our methodology combines proprietary data with direct feedback from employees, who rate the strength of their company’s perks. We recognize outstanding companies across seven categories, including vacation and time off, professional development, and more, with winners from businesses of all sizes.
Read on to discover which companies are leading the way in work flexibility and setting the standard for modern, employee-first workplaces in 2024.
