Majority of Workers Second-Guessing Careers Amid Pandemic

After months of maneuvering through the coronavirus crisis, many employees are rethinking what's most important when it comes to their career, according to a survey of more than 1,000 office professionals by Robert Half International (June 17). More than half of those surveyed (57 percent) said they have experienced a shift in their feelings toward work due to the pandemic. Of those, 60 percent are more motivated to be employed at an organization that values its staff during unpredictable times, 40 percent will prioritize their personal life over their job moving forward, and 33 percent want to pursue a more meaningful or fulfilling occupation.
