One Company's Loss is Another's Gain

Employees have continued to leave their organizations in droves.

🚩 With a record 4.53 million US workers having quit their jobs in March 2022, according to the Department of Labor.

And candidates are being choosy about where they will work.

They are looking for meaningful work, with leaders who care.

And organizations that accommodate remote work, when possible, will fare even better.

In other words, it’s critical to ensure a great culture.

The mass exodus can spell a huge opportunity, if the companies being left have been paying attention, and have responded constructively to the leavers’ input.

But the big winners are the organizations that already have engaged employees and a great culture in place.

Which doesn’t mean that the others don’t also now have the chance to turn themselves into great places to work.

🚩 In other words, view what’s been happening as “A Great Opportunity.”

And build or improve culture, to one where people want to stay, and one with an easy time attracting top talent.

People’s priorities have shifted since COVID began, and they simply will not stay if they believe their employer doesn’t care.

If organizations do nothing, and continue to operate as they did pre-COVID, people will continue to leave.

And their losses will continue to the benefit of those organizations that operate the way today’s employees now expect.
