WHAT ARE THE MAJOR CONCERNS OF CEOS DURING COVID?

One of the major challenges that Covid posed for businesses was not only business resilience but also concerns around employees’ wellbeing – both front-line workers as well as employees working away from home. Daryl Brewster, CEO of CECP (Chief Executives for Corporate Purpose), discusses how extending the boundaries of what a responsible employer is at these times was a major concern for business leaders. 69% of companies in CECP’s network increased their investments in CSR and sustainability activities. The next normal – companies will not be going back to their usual operations before the pandemic broke out but rather will shape their future workplace differently. CECP is a CEO-led coalition with the purpose of empowering companies to drive long-term, sustainable business success through positive social impact.
