When it comes to handling the COVID-19 pandemic, companies are getting a poor grade from a large chunk of their workers, new research shows.
In fact, two in five office workers plan to resign and take a new job as fast as they can due to their company’s response to the public health crisis.
The finding is a huge difference from 86% of C-suite respondents who contended their organizations showed commitment to their employees during the epidemic.
The study included 1,500 office workers—including many who are working remotely—and 500 C-suite level executives in America. The survey, completed by OnePoll for SilkRoad Technology, revealed the top ways workers felt their company could have improved their response to the crisis. The survey examined several matters, including how office workers and C-level executives have adjusted during the COVID-19 pandemic, if remote work perceptions have changed and if flexible work arrangements or remote work will be desired after the crisis.
