How Has COVID-19 Changed the Work-Life Balance HR Discussions; HR Managment and Employers More Flexible and Supportive: Poll
Summary
Based on a survey published by LinkedIn in September 2020, about half of men and women say that they find it hard to concentrate on their work while their children are home. That’s why over 74% of companies have made several reforms to their employee assistance programs to put the various aspects of workers’ well-being front and center. As the above statistics show, the HR management departments of most firms understand people’s needs, and they have developed a greater openness towards employee benefits, specifically those relating to well-being. HR leaders have made efforts to remind employees that they have complete flexibility in terms of how and when they want to work and that companies support them in their choices. HR teams should aim to help employees find space, both physically and mentally, in order to adapt to this new shift in work culture.
