The leadership assumes there’s a return to the office, and I think they’ve been repudiated quite a bit. So I think the dynamic here is wonderful, in that employers are being forced to reckon with what employees have just experienced. People have had this intense time at home, and they’re waking up and questioning why they need to resume business as normal, particularly if it comes from the top without asking. Parent, teacher, partner, caregiver-all those worlds have been smashed together.
Why is that?īill Schaninger: Many of the people in charge can’t conceive of a situation where people would leave without another job in hand, but the workforce is saying, “Oh, no, I’ll leave.” I think we’re just not tuned in to the dynamic going on for current employees. But, you guys say business leaders and managers should not take comfort in this. Roberta Fusaro: On the flip side of the survey findings, we also see that about 60 percent of respondents say they aren’t likely to quit. When they don’t find this, they’re just quitting. They’re burned out, and they’re looking for inspiration, social connection, belonging. Many people are leaving the job they’re in without another job in hand they are just leaving. They’re paying more attention to things like, “Am I paying people enough?” “Is this the best comp and benefits we can offer relative to competitors?” Employees say those are important, just not as important. What were some of those issues you found in the survey?Īaron De Smet: “Do I feel valued by my organization? Do I feel valued and acknowledged by my manager? Do I feel a sense of belonging with my organization and my part of a high-performing, trusting, open, caring team, with teammates that I like to work with? Do I have potential for meaningful advancement in my career? Can I have flexibility and autonomy in my workspace?”Ī lot of employers don’t pay nearly enough attention to those things.
What’s interesting is the findings showed that while these issues mattered, there were other issues playing a significant role in driving this employee exodus that we’re seeing.
Roberta Fusaro: In our recent research, you found that employers think employees are leaving the workforce or are dissatisfied due to a bunch of different reasons-compensation, work–life balance, poor physical and emotional health.
