(8/7) Watch Out for the Employee Productivity Pendulum

By Joanne Kaldy / August 7, 2020

Your employees embraced the changes created by the pandemic like the heroes they are. And although you may have worried about how they would perform working remotely, they’ve come through for you. However, a new survey suggests that some workers are struggling:

  • 57% of employees are experiencing social isolation.
  • 50% have anxieties about COVID-19.
  • 52% of managers say they are tired from working long hours.
  • 77% of employees say establishing boundaries between work and personal life is challenging, and 44% say they don’t know how to develop the skills to do this effectively.
