HR be warned | There's a growing wellbeing divide between your leaders and staff

As the months pass, and time progresses away from the bombshell impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the long-term impact on working life continues to shift.

For most, remote working – perhaps the biggest change in the daily routines of workers around the world – is now a standard. However, for all the perceived progress taking place, a divide between leaders and workers is still growing – a chasm that looks unlikely to heal any time soon.

That is, of course, if if the latest data from the Future Forum is to be believed.

The organisation surveyed 10,000 workers globally, to ascertain what cultural changes we’re currently experiencing within working life. What it discovered is a “troubling double standard” in the majority of businesses, with stress among executives declining steadily, whilst anxiety and work-life imbalance continue on an upward trajectory for most.
