Quick Take: <\/strong>Technology made it possible for a distributed workforce to be productive during the pandemic. But its increasingly prominent role in employees\u2019 lives has come under the microscope. Research shows a gap between what employees say would help them foster healthier relationships with technology and what businesses actually provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Employee wellbeing \u2014 and specifically, the shared responsibility of employers and employees in fostering it \u2014 has been a hot topic<\/a> as the pandemic and its aftereffects wear on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognizing how important this topic will remain, and the role it can play as a provider of enterprise technology, Salesforce is introducing<\/a> a suite of wellbeing capabilities for Work.com<\/a>. These tools and resources will empower businesses and employee to maintain a healthy relationship with work and technology.

To better understand how employees view this intersection of technology and wellbeing, the resources required, and the impacts on employees and businesses alike, Salesforce commissioned a survey of over 1,500 knowledge workers.* A summary of the key findings is shared below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic transformed our relationship with work technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While back-to-back video meetings may bring stress, the workforce overwhelmingly views technology\u2019s impact on work life over the course of the pandemic as positive. In fact, today\u2019s work technology may very well have salvaged many jobs that would have otherwise been lost: nearly three-quarters of those surveyed doubt that they could have conducted their jobs with technology from even five years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n

Employee wellbeing correlates with technology satisfaction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recent research<\/a> has underscored the importance of employee experience, and over a year of remote work has put employee wellbeing, specifically, in the hot seat. The data shows a relationship between satisfaction with work technology and overall employee wellbeing. Those dissatisfied with their work technology, for example, are more than twice as likely as those who are satisfied to say they feel burned out at work, and half as likely to say they\u2019re generally happy with their work.<\/p>\n\n\n
