One Year Into COVID: The Pandemic's Impact on How We Work

Over the past year, the workplace has undergone unprecedented change. More employees are working remotely, and those working on-site are coping with pandemic-related restrictions and guidelines. Schedules and workflows have been continually disrupted and rearranged.

To better understand how employees are responding to these challenges and gain insights into the ways employers can best respond, Workhuman® conducted a survey of more than 1,000 U.S. workers, aged 18-75+, across a broad range of industries, departments, and titles (entry-level to CEO).

Our findings can help HR and senior leaders be proactive as they face workplace culture shifts brought on by the pandemic – and improve business outcomes such as productivity and retention.
