With COVID-19 continuing to upend businesses globally, employers must re-examine their approach to developing and training this essential workforce.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, companies evolved and shifted much of their businesses to address the pandemic.

To understand how employees were feeling about businesses\u2019 response to this crisis, CGS surveyed more than 1,000 U.S. deskless workers as to their day-to-day training needs, access to collaboration tools and safety concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly three-quarters (73 percent) of respondents said they were satisfied with their employers\u2019 investments in health and safety training. Yet, there were several areas related to training and development where employers could improve their approach. Key findings include:<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Employers fell flat in providing wellness programs and crisis resolution <\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Many companies embraced remote work for the first time in March. To support this transition, one-third of survey respondents said that they received new digital learning and\/or collaboration tools, such as augmented reality (AR)\/virtual reality (VR), from their employers. However, only 12 percent received mentorship or wellness sessions and even fewer (10 percent) had access to conflict resolution or management training. For those individuals employed in the retail industry, nearly half (42 percent) said they did not receive any tools or training. Given the recent national uptick in COVID-19 cases, it is even more crucial that employers develop a plan to support their employees\u2019 emotional needs and personal development.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Increasing workloads may push retail, <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>education<\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong> and manufacturing employees out the door<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>More than half (52 percent) of respondents claimed that their job responsibilities and workloads increased during the pandemic, stemming mostly from staffing changes, increased demand and new work policies. Many stated they are prepared to leave their job once the pandemic ends. Retail workers are the least confident about committing to their current employers, with 53 percent stating they would remain in their current roles. In education and manufacturing, nearly one-quarter (24 percent) plan to change jobs, careers or retire. Offering relief from the increased demand will be essential to retaining talent, especially in industries such as retail where turnover rates are often high.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Companies <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>have lagged in addressing <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>day-to-day<\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong> job<\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong> training <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>needs<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>As leaders position their businesses for long-term growth and prosperity, they must reconsider their commitment to day-to-day job training needs: More than 30 percent of survey respondents in the education field said they are somewhat or very dissatisfied with their employers\u2019 investments in day-to-day job training, while 20 percent of telecommunications employees are very dissatisfied. Further to that, nearly one-third of technology employees saw no new investments in day-to-day job training. Organizations will need to re-prioritize programs that deploy continuous feedback and solutions to support training in remote environments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis disrupted market requires transforming the business-as-usual strategy \u2013 from health and safety of employees to offering next-generation technology for the remote workforce \u2013 to ensure continual success and future growth,\u201d said Phil Friedman, president and CEO, CGS. \u201cAs our survey demonstrates, no industry was left untouched by this crisis and today\u2019s limited face-to-face staff interactions could be indefinite. This means business leaders must reposition their plans, including recruiting, training and arming employees with the tools to keep them safe and informed to deliver best-in-class customer service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2021, companies looking to maintain a competitive edge and retain talent will need to provide workers with more than traditional Learning programs as their workforce navigates the year ahead,\u201d said Doug Stephen, president, Learning division, CGS. \u201cThe deskless workforce includes frontline employees who require new, crucial tools and skills to address today\u2019s evolving workplace. Many organizations will need to strengthen their Learning programs to bring their staff immediate and immersive access to information for greater efficiency, increased safety and improved knowledge transfer among workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CGS\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=nq-jXP9ZfOy63Amy22pkBbm4fkEbQJz1mbHjBdSYuqFtNrzVK6cCDiqGXUQGg2NK80k93lzMTqqbfCVpaNhCt4j4rGTlDOqCnJhwQAe6crALgt7w0_H0jXKyJRKWpdEU\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Enterprise Learning Group<\/a>\u00a0serves as a trusted partner to many of the world\u2019s most dynamic companies, delivering innovative, custom learning solutions essential to scaling people, processes and performance.
