Nearly half of American employees feel burnt out after a year working during a pandemic
ClickUp announced the findings of its new report, "The 2021 Workplace Pulse," which reveals the sentiments of today’s workers after one year of working during this immense pandemic-driven shift in workplace culture. The survey, which was conducted online on its behalf by The Harris Poll among employed U.S. Americans, sheds light on how employees feel about the changing workplace over the past year, including the sudden shift to remote work, new challenges around managing work/life balance, and gaps in workplace communication and coordination. In fact, nearly half (45%) of U.S. employees said they would give up 10% of their salary in order to have an easier work life.
“The past year has brought about an unparalleled shift in the way businesses work, forcing many to adjust on the fly to new tools and processes that have left their employees feeling burnt out,” said Zeb Evans, Founder and CEO of ClickUp. “This report shows just how fed up employees are with businesses that leave them in the technological dark ages or bombard them with too many tools. In an era where employees can try new tools at the click of a button and work from any location, businesses need to listen to their employees and meet their evolving expectations. Those that don't will lose their employees to jobs that give them what they want and need, even if they have to give up some salary to get it.”
