If you think #thegreatresignation is related to Covid or the current skills shortage, think again. This graph from the Bureau of Labor Statistics clearly shows that, with the exception of 2020, people have been changing jobs in increasing numbers since 2009. While this is a US stat, I believe the trend is definitely global.
I’ve often said that Covid accelerated other workforce trends that had been building for years. I think what we see with this graph is the result of two long-term trends coming together.
First, we’ve known since at least 1997 when McKinsey & Company wrote their now iconic report “The War for Talent” that a skills shortage and skills mismatch was on the horizon.
Second, due in part to this coming skills shortage, along with generational differences, social justice reckoning, and to a lesser extent #metoo the workforce has become more empowered and more likely to change roles.
Employee retention is critical – and clearly getting harder.

I’m cheating a bit. Last week I promised to post 3 things that I found inspiring every Friday. Today I’m posting 20.
Last night I attended Consult Australia‘s FutureNet awards night for NSW (magnificently convened by Linda Gaunt). It was a COVID-safe event held in the Grand Ballroom of the ICC in Sydney. There were only 30 people in attendance including 19 of the 20 participants, all 4 of the mentors and the facilitators, like me, who...
I’m curious, what has your experience been with implicit bias training?
Having spent 15 years working as a professional recruiter and 11 years teaching hiring managers how to hire more effectively and efficiently I’ve always felt that implicit bias training was a waste of time.
There is more and more research now backing up my gut feel. Here are two articles that unpack this pretty nicely.
Even worse, there is consistent evidence that bias training done the “wrong way” (think lukewarm diversity training) can actually have the opposite impact, inducing anger and frustration among white employees. What this all means is that, despite the widespread calls for implicit bias training, it will likely be ineffective at best; at worst, it’s a poor use of limited resources that could cause more damage and exacerbate the very issues it is trying to solve.

I loved this article about the things companies get wrong when writing job descriptions. I only disagree with their first point. A long job description/job ad isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’ve helped clients write very lengthy but VERY compelling job descriptions that vividly describes the company culture and values, outlines what the prospective candidate can achieve in the role and what they need to bring to the table (innate abilities and strengths) to be successful.
