Business execs see hiring as top issue in '22, even as pandemic wanes
More than two-thirds of business leaders believe the COVID-19 pandemic will become endemic this year, making it something businesses and society will have to live with, according to a survey released Thursday by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
The professional services firm conducted the online survey of 678 C-suite executives, which included CEOs, CFOs, COOs, tax and audit executives, and corporate board members. Two-thirds of those surveyed were from Fortune 2000 corporations and 69% said they believe this is the year the pandemic will wane.
Just days before the Supreme Court struck down the Biden Administration’s COVID-19 vaccination and testing rules, PwC’s survey found companies taking different tacks on vaccine mandates and contact tracing.
