Impact of COVID-19 on employee productivity and engagement

Dear Friends,

Last month, Herta Communications engaged with Sigred Solutions on a survey to assess employee engagement and company culture. Since we launched the survey during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, our questions focused on that topic.

Below are highlights of the COVID-19 survey findings. For a copy of the full report, please follow this link:

• 78% of respondents feel that their employer has responded appropriately to the crisis

• The assessment of productivity and engagement varied significantly by generation

• Managing employee engagement will need to be a major focus for companies emerging into a post COVID-19 and more socially distanced workplace

• Understanding employee preferences and responding to them will be critical as we move forward

• In a post COVID-19 workplace, employees expect to see a significant increase in the amount of time they work from home

If you need help developing a proactive strategy for connecting and engaging your employees in a post COVID-19 world, please let me know. We have several solutions, including custom surveys to help you see how engaged your employees are and what they feel is most important.

While a lot has changed, let’s continue to keep in touch. And don't hesitate to call me at any time. Thank you for your continued loyalty and support.

Most importantly, stay healthy!

Robert
