Over half of working Americans say "they’re likely to be in the hunt for a new job over the next 12 months . . . In August alone, 4.3 million Americans quit their jobs – almost 3 percent of the entire workforce." It's being called the Great Resignation.
Last year shook up some of our patterns of life. In the aftermath, people are re-evaluating their lives and their work, asking important questions - like, "how long do I want to keep doing this job?" Some really needed to put their abilities to better use, or learn new skills.
Burnout symptoms may show up as exhaustion, lack of focus, depression. It's worth the effort for employers to help these workers using flexible work from home (WFH) schedules, walking meetings - and recognition/appreciation for a job well done. According to the WHO, every dollar invested in employees' mental health will return $4 in better productivity.
