(6/1) Study: Some Employers Are ‘Out of Touch’ with Employees’ Stress Levels

By Joanne Kaldy / June 1, 2020

Employers may not realize how this pandemic is affecting their workers’ ability to function and succeed. According to a new survey:

  • Nearly a fifth of workers says their employers misunderstand their productivity and workload and the stress they are facing in light of the pandemic.

  • Nearly one in 10 of respondents expresses concerns about issues related to family obligations. They call for more flexible hours and a need for managers to better understand their specific situations (such as providing home schooling for children or care for an older family member).
