1 in 4 employees feel unsafe in returning to office: survey

Resurgence of infections and failure of safety-compliance are the main concerns.

More than a quarter, or 27%, of employees expressed that returning to work doesn't feel safe, according to an EngageRocket report.

Out of 2,800 respondents, over one-fourth said that they are in fear of resurgence of COVID-19 infections, co-workers’ compliance with safety measures, and self-compliance with safety measures. Three-quarters of respondents said that social distancing should be observed for at least the next six months, whilst 21% said that the observance period should be at least a year.

Amongst the employees who were engaged in organisational communication from their HR managers, 59% were confident about their organisation’s future, showing that culture and engagement can improve resilience and well-being. Employees are opting for a work-from-home facility more often than before, with 85% of workers wanting to continue this arrangement for at least half of the time. The survey also showed that 64% of employees feel they can deliver the same or more in terms of productivity.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
