The Great Resignation: Why This is the Biggest Opportunity We’ve Never Seen to Attract and Retain Incredible Teams

Regardless of which research we subscribe to; the outlook is bleak: employees coast-to-coast are transitioning jobs at rates we haven’t seen since the Vietnam War.

Instead of calling it ‘The Great Resignation’, perhaps it should be called ‘The Great Reconfiguration’.
