In today's episode we talk about the 40% of workers that are planning on leaving their job over the next 12 months and what we can do about it as leaders within our organization.
Episode at a Glance:
- NPR coined the term Great Resignation as a way to label the abnormally high number of people planning on leaving their jobs as we begin to exit the worst of the pandemic.
- The decision to leave is largely driven by a desire for remote work flexibility and potentially a drive to take control over part of their life after navigating a crisis that gives a fresh start.
- Organizations are poised to lose their best and brightest in this time period as the job market has heavily skewed towards job seekers.
- What are actions we can take today to mitigate impact within our own organizations, or is it too late?
