Wellbeing | HR deemed last resort for anxious employees

The coronavirus pandemic has fuelled feelings of uncertainty among professionals, as many grow anxious over the future of their jobs and whether an organisation will stay afloat amid the crisis.

While some employees would consider heading to the HR team to resolve any feelings of anxiousness, for others the department would be deemed their last resort.

This is according to research published by the ADP Research Institute. In its The Workforce View 2020 – Volume One pre-COVID-19, which surveyed workers between October 2019 and early January 2020, ADP explored how employees feel about the issues currently surrounding the workplace.

It also revealed that 68% of employees feel stressed at work, but that they would only use the HR department as a last resort for discussing their anxieties.
