sharing.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a team lead or hiring manager perspective, it can be challenging to strike a balance, but it is so important to articulate the <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&lsquo;why&rsquo;<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your team and each employee to buy into, but also advocate across the organisation to promote value and awareness of the value in your future work style.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We find most candidates are open to and find value in onsite work that's focused on deeper collaboration such as workshops, key stakeholder meetings, project kick-offs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>Our team leads are often talking about balancing:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Company objectives, and often real estate spend, with employee location preferences.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"

and project tempo, with team pace to avoid burn-out.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Team collaboration for workshops and

will ultimately be swayed by the projects they work on and the people they work with.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providing insights to your projects and the team is key and ensure this information makes it through to your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aquent.co.uk\" title=\"Aquent - Homepage\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">preferred recruiter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and HR teams, and onto your job ads.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celebrating the success of your projects and people not only helps boost external attraction to your employer brand, company, and team, but it also helps foster a more positive team culture with internal acknowledgement for the hard work the team put in.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Some areas that hiring managers and team leads can really impact are:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking the time to provide candidates with a
