Episode Synopsis

After the upheaval of the pandemic and the wave known as the ‘Great Resignation’, a new way of understanding why we quit is emerging. Today, we’re looking at the idea of ‘jolts’ - those sudden moments, big or small, that can push us to rethink our jobs, our priorities, and even our lives. From burnout and bad bosses to life milestones and unexpected change, research suggests many of us are just one ‘jolt’ away from a major career decision...Joining guest host Fionnuala Jones to discuss this is Professor Anthony Koltz, Professor of Organisational Behaviour UCL School of Management and author of ‘Jolted: Why We Quit, When to Stay and Why It Matters’.
