The pandemic has had an impact on employee motivation

The health crisis linked to COVID-19 has the effect of demotivating workers in the country, according to a study by the firm Morneau Shepell, which speaks of almost four in 10 employees in this state.

Released Wednesday, the Toronto firm’s survey indicates that about 36% of Canadians said they had a harder time finding the motivation to do their job than before. In addition, 34% of respondents find it more difficult to concentrate at work than before the pandemic.

The online survey, conducted in English and French from August 21 to 30 among 3000 respondents in Canada, allows the firm to establish its Mental Health Index.

“Ignoring the mental health needs and well-being of [Canadiens] could in the long run compromise the resilience of the population, ”said Stephen Liptrap, President and CEO of the firm, adding that it is crucial to focus and even address the risks associated with isolation.
