Four years since the start of a global pandemic, and the work world still hasn’t adjusted to the influx of changes that came with it. Employees are feeling the strain, and aren’t afraid to speak up.
Return-to-office mandates, AI anxiety or the threat of layoffs have led to a drop in employee happiness, according to HR software company BambooHR, which measures happiness by whether employees would recommend their place of work to others. A company’s score can range from 100 (people should definitely work here) to negative 100 (no one should work here). Compared to December 2020, the average score of over 1,600 companies decreased by 10%, falling to a four-year low of approximately 37 points.
