(soft music)

2
00:00:08,860 --> 00:00:10,340
- While some businesses have responded

3
00:00:10,340 --> 00:00:13,240
to the coronavirus crisis
with creativity and empathy

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,320
other efforts have fallen short.

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,790
When TopResume asked over
a thousand professionals

6
00:00:17,790 --> 00:00:20,570
to evaluate their employers
behavior during the pandemic

7
00:00:20,570 --> 00:00:23,310
68% said they would
consider leaving their job

8
00:00:23,310 --> 00:00:25,130
because of the poor treatment they faced.

9
00:00:25,130 --> 00:00:27,510
If you've also been unhappy
with your employer's behavior

10
00:00:27,510 --> 00:00:29,110
during this time and want to quit,

11
00:00:29,110 --> 00:00:30,840
here are three things
that can help you ensure

12
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,053
that your next employer
shares your values.

13
00:00:34,130 --> 00:00:35,680
Before you begin your job search,

14
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:36,910
consider how recent events

15
00:00:36,910 --> 00:00:38,630
have changed your
opinion of your employer.

16
00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:40,330
Once you've determined
what matters most to you

17
00:00:40,330 --> 00:00:42,300
in your next role search for organizations

18
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:44,040
that prioritize those things.

19
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,540
For example, if COVID-19
has made you realize

20
00:00:46,540 --> 00:00:48,450
that you want to continue working remotely

21
00:00:48,450 --> 00:00:51,040
or that you value companies
that support working parents

22
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,760
then seek out the best employers for that.

23
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,000
You can also target companies
that have made headlines

24
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,700
for giving back to those most affected

25
00:00:56,700 --> 00:00:58,323
by the coronavirus pandemic.

26
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,100
Checkout sites like Glassdoor or Vault

27
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:03,330
and read reviews from
current and former employees

28
00:01:03,330 --> 00:01:05,410
to get a better sense
of the company's values.

29
00:01:05,410 --> 00:01:07,620
You can also delve into
your network to find someone

30
00:01:07,620 --> 00:01:09,710
who was working at the
company during the pandemic

31
00:01:09,710 --> 00:01:12,100
to get a better sense of
how employees were treated.

32
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:13,600
In addition, research the company

33
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,750
and check out any headlines
from the past few months.

34
00:01:16,750 --> 00:01:17,920
If you land an interview,

35
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,640
it's important to find out how a company

36
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,320
treated its employees and
their plans for reopening.

37
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:25,187
Start by saying, "I'm not
sure any company was prepared

38
00:01:25,187 --> 00:01:27,217
"for how the pandemic would
affect their business.

39
00:01:27,217 --> 00:01:29,910
"How did your organization
respond to the crisis?"

40
00:01:29,910 --> 00:01:31,470
You can always follow up with questions

41
00:01:31,470 --> 00:01:33,850
about how the company helped
those with children at home

42
00:01:33,850 --> 00:01:35,479
or what their plans are for the future.

43
00:01:35,479 --> 00:01:37,730
This line of questioning
will help determine

44
00:01:37,730 --> 00:01:40,520
whether the company took necessary
precautions for its staff

45
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,930
and demonstrated sensitivity
to employee's needs

46
00:01:42,930 --> 00:01:44,243
throughout the crisis.
