Is it the Great Resignation or the Great Retention?

POST-PANDEMIC changes are not only being seen in consumer behavior but increasingly in the workplace as well, both from the employer and employee perspectives. If you are an HR practitioner, you probably have had employees resign when a return to office mandate was put in place, simply because they had been working from home over the last two years and physically going back to the office — coupled with commutes and other factors — simply couldn't cut it this time around.

If you are the employee, your priorities and goals likely changed, mostly due to the pandemic and its impact. News about deaths and other severe cases, especially during the pre-vaccine era, have made workers rethink, reassess and reevaluate what really are their goals in life, and which ones to prioritize. Simply put, post-pandemic changes transformed the way we work and how we want to work.
