Episode Synopsis

The Great Resignation - Episode 9
Joy and Nadine dive into the fascinating discussion around "The Great Resignation" - the recent trend of millions of people quitting their jobs. They explore the reasons behind this movement, from people re-evaluating their priorities during the pandemic to the desire for more flexibility and work-life balance. Get ready to rethink the traditional workplace as they discuss the rise of remote work, non-synchronous learning, hybrid models, and how employers may need to adapt to attract and retain top talent.
Highlights:
