Over the last few months as restrictions have started lifting, there has been an increase in chatter about a wave of resignations and market churn (or the so-called ‘Great Resignation’). Expected in the latter half of 2021, we are asking, “Is this simply ‘noise’ or is there something deeper occurring?”
The view of the post pandemic world varies depending on who you ask. However, what seems to be coming into focus is that the pandemic has given many people the chance to evaluate their lives and priorities. As things begin to stabilise, there is an increasing likelihood of individuals deciding to ‘seize the day’ and make lifestyle changes, be that moving job, industry, or in some cases, opting for early retirement. Whatever the driver, the ‘great resignation’ is looking increasingly likely.
