The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has created a host of
challenges for employers while accelerating fundamental shifts
already underway in the workplace. As the pandemic's many
lasting implications for the workplace and the way we work begin to
emerge, Littler surveyed more than 900 employers, based in North
America and with operations around the world, on their concerns and
the actions they have taken in response.
The survey results reveal employers navigating
far-ranging and thorny challenges – from operational
considerations related to closures and staffing shortages to
keeping employees safe and managing morale to making tough
decisions related to compensation and providing leave to those
unable to work.
