n today’s competitive job market, hiring managers are facing a hard truth: sticking to traditional policies could cost them top talent.

This is according to a recent Express Employment Professionals-Harris Poll survey.

Flexibility and adaptability are often essential in business, as change is an inevitable part of the process. But when it comes to company culture, U.S. hiring managers appear torn on who is responsible for adapting to the current landscape.

More than half of employers (56%) say it’s up to workers to adapt to company culture, while 44% argue it’s time for company culture to evolve with the times. What’s driving this mindset? A striking 88% of companies say they already have the tools to train new hires to fit in, with 42% strongly backing their ability to shape cultural alignment from day one.

But job seekers see things differently.

More than half (54%) believe it’s the company culture that needs to evolve, not the employees, while only 46% say it's the workers who should adapt.

The divide is even more pronounced among women: 59% of female job seekers say company culture should shift with the times, compared to just 49% of men.
