ARLINGTON, USA - March 22, 2022 —
In 2021, the “Great Resignation” impacted organizations worldwide as employees quit their jobs at unprecedented rates. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported 10.6 million job openings and 6.9 million unemployed people at the end of November 2021. In addition, the number of resignations hit a new high of 4.5 million in the same month.
Ariana Huffington, American author, syndicated columnist, and co-founder of The Huffington Post tweeted, “The Great Resignation is really a Great Re-evaluation. What people are resigning from is a culture of burnout and a broken definition of success. In quitting their jobs, people are affirming their longing for a different way of working and living.”
The “Great Re-evaluation” is built on a foundation of re-imagined leadership practices. It’s time for leaders to re-evaluate old ways of working and engage with systems that ensure decent and dignified work for everyone, including implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) methods, managing change, and meeting new employee demands.
According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), the future of work will feature individualized working conditions, flexible hours, high self-responsibility, more work-life balance, and empowering leadership styles. WEF also acknowledges that managing the transition to new work models is considered one of the most pressing challenges for organizations.
