The year’s Top Workplaces elevate strategies to keep employees engaged
Like it or not, coronavirus is the defining issue of 2020. No question about it.
In the first six months alone, more than 113,000 Americans died, more than 2 million were infected and more than 30 million lost their jobs.
Most Americans were able to quickly shift gears and make a successful transition to remote work, where employees’ biggest frustrations were juggling their jobs with home-schooling and fighting burnout from all those Zoom meetings.
But that wasn’t the case for businesses deemed nonessential under government stay-at-home orders or service sectors that found it impractical for employees to socially distance from customers. Thus, many workers in retail, hospitality, restaurants and home remodeling joined the ranks of the unemployed.
Not even Top Workplaces 2020 winners were spared.
