{Radio} The not so great resignation – 70% will continue on from where they left off!
Post COVID there will be a lot of soul searching and many will question their work, life and future and some will do something about it, but most will not.
I’m guessing, despite all the post COVID resolutions’ we’ve made, that just like our annual new year’s eve resolutions, they’ll be chock full of good intentions but empty of long term change.
My reality is that 70% of Australian’s will move forward to very similar lives, jobs and businesses to those they left behind pre COVID, which leaves 30% to make the big changes that we’re hearing lots about.
The other major difference is that we are not America, which is where the term and statistics are coming from.
Our employment structure and work landscape are fundamentally different.
In Australia the great resignation, will turn into the job churn.
There are currently lots of jobs on offer, far more than we have people for.
It’s a great time to trade up in title, responsibility. To take a career risk, try new skills in different industries. To be adventurous in where, when and how you work.
It will be a long time before employers are this game again to take on staff that don’t 100% meet the brief, but still have something to offer.
But despite all of this, I’m sure it will be business and work as usual, for most.
