The Great Resignation - Episode 9

Joy and Nadine dive into the fascinating discussion around "The Great Resignation" - the recent trend of millions of people quitting their jobs. They explore the reasons behind this movement, from people re-evaluating their priorities during the pandemic to the desire for more flexibility and work-life balance. Get ready to rethink the traditional workplace as they discuss the rise of remote work, non-synchronous learning, hybrid models, and how employers may need to adapt to attract and retain top talent.

Highlights:

🔆 A staggering 47 million people quit their jobs in the past year - uncharted territory!

🔆 The pandemic forced a hard reset, making people rethink their lives and what they want

🔆 Some key reasons for quitting: disliking return to office, seeking better work-life balance, being overworked (healthcare workers), and re-prioritizing life

🔆 Surprising stat: It's not just young people - ages 30-45 (older millennials & younger Gen X) are driving this "Great Resignation"

🔆 Working remotely showed the benefits of more personal time and less commuting

🔆 Will employers keep allowing remote work? How will it impact transportation/parking industries?

🔆 The rise of "non-synchronous" classes/work - complete tasks by a deadline rather than set hours

🔆 Hybrid models with partial remote & office time could be the solution

🔆 Mental health, self-care and work-life balance are huge motivators for change

🔆 Employers may need to get creative with flexibility, perks and rethinking the office workspace

🔆 Is society moving past the "industrial model" of rigid schedules and commuting?
