MOL survey finds companies have taken positive steps to support wellbeing
A survey of HR professionals, conducted by leading CIPD qualification provider
MOL, found companies have taken genuine steps to support their employees during
the last 12 months, with 87.5% of respondents agreeing with the statement
‘wellbeing of employees is extremely important to my organisation’.
Carried out in conjunction with People Management Insight, the survey focused on
the impact of the pandemic on organisations. It looked at the challenges they faced
and how they have adapted, with a specific focus on wellbeing, sustainability of
remote working and the future of the workplace.
As the pandemic put added pressure on families and carers it’s clear that employers
were well placed to respond to employees’ needs. 81.5% of survey respondents
agreed with the statement ‘My company has clearly defined procedures if employees
need time off, e.g. for caring responsibilities’.
65% of respondents agreed their company has a proactive mental health support
programme.
Throughout a difficult period, coping with the unexpected challenges of isolation and
working from home caused difficulties for all professionals. Our survey asked how
HR professionals coped with working from home throughout the last year and 70%
agreed they felt like they were being held hostage in their own home.
On a lighter note, it’s been possible for all of us to save some commuting time, fall
back in love with old hobbies and pick up new ones. This is reflected by 52% of our
