As the ‘pingdemic’ draws to a close and as further isolation rules change in England CV-Library has found that 70 per cent of the 2,000 employees they surveyed want isolation rules to stay in place. The findings tie-in with the way that some businesses have requested people to continue wearing masks, even though official guidance has changed here too. Almost three quarters of respondents feel that businesses should continue with isolation rules.
A resounding 82 per cent also said that, despite the continued number of COVID–19 cases and the chaos of the ‘pingdemic’ in recent weeks, they do feel comfortable in the workplace at present.
Lee Biggins, founder and CEO of CV-Library commented: “Along with safety, staff well-being is a top priority for UK businesses and to know such a large majority of professionals feel safe in the workplace is great news and hugely reassuring.
“These are unprecedented times and there is no rule book, but the choices business owners make after the 16th of August will have significant and wider repercussions,” he noted. “We all know from experience that feeling comfortable in the workplace is paramount and businesses need to listen to their staff. After all, with job postings at record levels and staff shortages in many sectors, candidates are in a strong position with plenty of alternative choices.”
