Human resource professionals have scrambled to address the challenges of COVID-19 this year and prepare for 2021. More than 2,600 leaders of small- and midsized businesses recently shared their insights in “A Paycor Survey, the State of American Business: 2021.”

“For many businesses, planning for 2021 looks much different than years past,” said Ryan Bergstrom, chief product officer for Paycor. “Many aspects of COVID-19 are still a moving target in this new normal, making partnerships across HR and business leaders critical as they plan for the future. This survey helps us get a pulse on how American business leaders are thinking and feeling so we can better understand how to help serve them best.”
