When asked about their employers’ biggest failings during the pandemic, poor communication topped the list, cited by 42% of respondents, followed by lack of opportunities for promotion (40%), poor technology (35%) and not having proper mechanisms in place to manage mental health and wellbeing (34%).
More than one third (37%) said their employer was putting them under pressure to return to the office. However, more than half said the opposite.
Sean Sanders, managing partner of Thackray Williams, said: ‘In an era where law firm culture is just as important as pay, the results of this survey present a timely reminder for firms to keep communication and employee wellbeing at the top of their agenda.’
