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 had a comment on that post asking, “Why are they disengaged?”

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 going to be unpacking 9 Keys to Avoid the Great Resignation (reverse engineered from over 5,000 exit interviews)…and unveiling some new (and dare I say a bit controversial) insights around this model.
Have you considered the HUGE opportunity that The Great Resignation provides from a talent acquisition perspective? Think about it, regardless of whether they act on it, MULTIPLE studies show that at least 40% of the workforce is open to looking for other work in 2022.
