While nearly nine in 10 executives are confident their organizations can withstand the variant and have the procedures and capacity to address it, two-thirds are concerned about how their staff is going to react.
Most executives are confident they have the workplace policies in place to handle the onslaught of omicron, a new survey says — but what really worries them is what the COVID-19 variant will do for quit and hire rates.
The same percentage of respondents was very or extremely worried about the organization’s ability to hire new staff amid the variant. The survey didn’t get into why omicron might push a worker out the door, but other observers have thoughts on the interplay. The speed and timing of the omicron surge is putting all sorts of pressure on workers in their professional and personal lives, said Diane Swonk, Grant Thornton’s chief economist.
