I heard an MSNBC report that according to the latest labor statistics data, The Great Resignation is far from over. But it’s for different reasons…the job market is hot right now, unemployment is at a low, but resignations are up by 23% compared to pre-Covid times. This means that people are resigning to go join better opportunities.

So, now it’s time for you as the leader to ask yourself, “Are you creating a culture of people development?”

My friends at Leadr are on a mission to transform The Great Resignation into The Great Resolution.
