Eric Severson
HR at Neiman Marcus Group
NMG’s remote-first, work-from-anywhere approach. The plan has become indispensable for the company, directly leading to 34% improvement in employee engagement and 31% improvement in time to hire for new roles.
“Especially in corporate marketplaces, two factors create work-life stress and attrition: high cost of living and long commute times,” he says. “Those make it so stressful for workers to manage childcare, elder care, family responsibilities, and be available when they need to be at work. That’s why we did what we did, and it’s been a really positive decision.”
There’s no impact on productivity, and a big increase in happiness. Happiness can be measured by engagement, which improves with flexibility and remote options.”
