Results of Employee Morale Survey #3

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for sharing your opinions in our third coronavirus Employee Morale Survey.

One of the big changes is in your view of working from home once shelter in place is lifted (more of you prefer to work from home) which is understandable given California’s recent surge in positive cases.
