Employees Rate Their Treatment During Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented economic upheaval, but most British workers feel their employers have treated them well during this difficult time.

YouGov research reveals that British employees are extremely positive about how their employer has treated them during the COVID-19 pandemic, with 85% rating their company’s treatment of staff as ‘excellent’ (40%) or ‘good’ (45%).

Surprisingly, there are only marginal changes in these figures between private sector workers (84%), public sector workers (87%) and charity, NGO or not-for-profit workers (89%).

More noticeable differences are seen when the same question is asked of managers and non-managers. Senior managers and directors are most likely to report positive behaviour from their employer, with almost half (49%) rating their employer as ‘excellent’ and a further 43% ‘good’.
