By now, you have undoubtedly heard of the Great Resignation, the trend of people across various industries becoming fed up with aspects of their job during the pandemic and opting to leave. The Great Resignation wasn't just a couple of buzzwords thrown together. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 71.6 million people left their jobs from April 2021 through April 2022. That's about 3.98 million Americans quitting each month. That number jumped up to 4.5 million people in November 2021.
Prem Bhatia and John Duisberg, cofounders of employee engagement platform Cooleaf, host The Great Retention pod-cast and speak with leading business executives about steps to combat the wave of employees leaving their jobs. Bhatia and Duisberg aim to glean what steps executives are taking to support their employees and build inclusive work environments.
