FREMONT, CA: People are turning to robots to help their career growth after the COVID-19 pandemic left them feeling lonely and detached from their own lives, according to a survey involving more than 14,600 employees, managers, HR leaders, and C-Level executives from 13 countries. All around the world people have felt stuck in their personal and professional lives, according to a recent study by Oracle and Workplace Intelligence, an HR research and advising organisation. More than 6,000 people from Asia-Pacific countries took part in this global poll, including Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea, and Singapore.
The pandemic has set a new course for the way people work in the future. Employees are feeling more empowered than ever before, yet feeling stuck in their lives, scared about their future, caught in the same routine, and more lonely. 25% of the respondents felt lonelier while 25% of them felt disconnected from their personal lives. 63% found 2021 to be the most stressful year at work. More than half of the people struggled with mental health going to work compared to the previous years. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the number of people who believe that they have little to no influence over their personal and professional lives has climbed by half. People expressed a sense of loss of control over their own lives, futures, and finances.
According to the report organizations need to do more to attract and retain talent in light of these shifting objectives. They must increase their efforts to assist employees in identifying and developing new abilities, as well as create tailored career pathways to reclaim control of their careers.The recent year has had a negative impact on 80% of people, with many of them struggling financially. Despite the difficulties of the previous year, people in Asia-Pacific are keen to make changes in their careers. Employers must pay more attention to employee demands than ever before and use technology to give better support to retain and nurture top talent in the face of changing workplace dynamics.
