68% of employees say they have grown closer to
family members since the pandemic started
Two years since COVID was declared a pandemic, employees say
work and family are the areas of life that have shown the most
change for the better. Despite the devastation and tragedy many
have suffered over the course of the pandemic, remote and flexible
work options have brought benefits to families. Sixty-eight percent
of employees say they have grown closer to family members over the
past two years, and 89% of remote workers with kids say their kids
are happier when they are working from home, according to new
research from Qualtrics (Nasdaq: XM). See full study results
here.
Even pets have seen life improve. Nearly all (95%) of remote
workers with pets say their pets are happier when they are working
from home.
Employees are better off when it comes to work as well, with
flexible work, remote work and hybrid work being the most favorable
changes. Nearly half (43%) of U.S. employees say their work-life
balance is better now than it was pre-pandemic. Employees also
report better job satisfaction, career progress, finances and
overall happiness.

Mental health, however, is the one area where employees are
split — 31% say they are better off and 31% say they are worse off
than they were two years ago.
As employee needs and priorities have shifted during the
pandemic, nearly half (47%) have changed jobs, including 15% who
changed industries in the past two years. The top reasons employees
gave for seeking a new job were: they wanted a more flexible
schedule (16%), they wanted more growth opportunities (14%) and
they wanted to work remotely (11.5%). All of these reasons beat out
higher pay (10.5%).
“It’s clear that the past two years have brought lasting change
to work-life for American employees,“ said head of employee
experience advisory services at Qualtrics, Benjamin Granger, Ph.D.
“As we enter a new phase of COVID, where measures like remote work
and social distancing may become optional, it’s time for us to take
stock of what we’ve learned so we can be intentional about what
changes from the pandemic are worth keeping and which should be
discarded. It’s critical that leaders don’t forget how flexibility
and new ways of working have made life better for employees.”
