'Rising stress levels' | 4 in 10 HR professionals unprepared for 2021

With the New Year fast approaching, new research has found that a significant portion of HR professionals are not prepared for 2021 which could lead to rising stress levels in the function.

Shockingly, over four in ten (43%) respondents don’t believe that their people teams have the capacity to address employee engagement and workforce planning needs in 2021.

On the flip side, this means that just over half (57%) believe that their team has the capacity to address these areas of work.

The 400-strong survey of HR professionals – which was published by employee experience platform Culture Amp in a study titled ‘How companies are embracing a new future’ – found that this situation is unlikely to change anytime soon.
