Communication & Society. https://doi.org/10.15581/003.38.1.0020214-0039http://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/21328While companies across different sectors in the Western world have increasingly begun to value their employees’ roles, this practice is not yet universal in our globalized economy. This research examines how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced employee communication practices within pharmaceutical companies operating in Portugal.
