The survey asked workers: â€œWhat positive effects, if any, has the recession had on you and your job?â€ Their responses* were: â€¢ Taken on new projects: 53% â€¢ Gained more responsibility: 52% â€¢ Taken on more challenging work: 52% â€¢ Had more interactions with management: 44% â€¢ Had more interactions with clients or customers: 38%Been promoted: 12% Multiple responses were allowed Due to the economic recession many businesses have fewer employees on a team,* resulting in employees taking on great challenges and using a variety of skills. Some employees may handle the pressure okay. Others may find it difficult to handle the pressure, and it is the employers job to provide them with the necessary resources.
