OGCA Partners with Industry Associations to Survey the Public on COVID-19 Safe Workplaces

The OGCA has partnered with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and other associations to commission two polls: one of the public and the other of businesses (to be available in a few days). You can find a presentation with the results here.

The first poll, focused on the public, clearly shows that the Ontario public's financial security had been rocked. Evidence shows that 31% are concerned with their ability to pay their bills, and 36% are concerned about their jobs. These results speak to an environment of instability and a massive impact on the consumer's ability to support our economy.

The poll also considered the role of government and employees in starting up business in a manner that protects employees and customers. When asked, 60% of responders expressed confidence that those employed in small businesses are properly trained to keep employees and customers safe.

When asked about the role of government, 82% of responses agreed that it has a role in requiring and mandating a "Workplace COVID-19 safety and training program that all employees must complete." There obviously will be a high demand for business and government to work hand in hand to keep workplaces safe.
