b'We asked about four distinct levels of well-being: thriving, in which an organization is doing better than average and likely growing in its capacity to serve; surviving, in which an organization is able to sustain operations but unable to do much more; struggling, in which the organization is vulnerable to failure and managing to stay afloat with considerable effort; and closed. How is your organization performing overall?

For organizations with more than 21 employees, 7 in 10 respondents reported that they were getting by (compared with only 36% of organizations with 5 or fewer employees), and 12% reported to be thriving (compared with only 6% of organizations with 5 or fewer employees).Does the size of the organization impact their survival1-554.55% 45.45%EMPLOYEES6+ 32.30% 67.70%EMPLOYEESEXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES MAINTAINING OPERATIONSTAKEAWAY: Large organizations (with 21+ employees) are roughly twice as likely to report that they are surviving or thriving than small organizations (1-5 employees).It is important to note that all but five of the organizations polled are still operational, indicating that the survey pool represents organizations that have largely fared well through the pandemic. As the pandemic has carried on, weve seen this consolidation of the stronger organizations in our respondent pool as a trend carried forward from past surveys.
