The Mom Project, the leader in helping Enterprises attract and retain female talent, today announced its acquisition of Werk, a first-of-its-kind people analytics platform that puts flexibility insights and data into the hands of companies to help them work smarter. The Mom Project’s existing insights division (MP Labs) will expand its employee experience and workplace productivity analytics offering under the newly formed WerkLabs.
Flexibility in the workplace is in high demand, with 96% of employees citing a need for flexibility, but only 47% saying they have access to the types they need, according to Werk research published in Harvard Business Review. Yet, understanding and improving team and employee experience and identifying which flexibility changes will have the greatest impact on retention and productivity remains a challenge for business leaders.
“The current environment is accelerating the urgency for companies to learn how to best support remote employees. Our customized Remote Experience Index models are uniquely positioned to help companies create work experiences that will improve employee engagement, loyalty and retention over the near and long-term.” said Dr. Pamela Cohen, President of WerkLabs. “Our research shows that flexibility has a critical impact on workplace satisfaction and employee retention.”
“We’re thrilled to be joining forces with The Mom Project to bring critical flexibility data and strategies to the employee experience of global corporations,” said Anna Auerbach, co-founder of Werk. “The future of work is flexible and supports all people, and WerkLabs will power the construction of better workplaces for everyone.”
