#0070 - The Great Resignation of 2021

Confessions of a Recovering Landlord

I recently read an article in the online magazine D CRE and it was commenting about the supposition that 30% of workers will quit their current job and either go elsewhere or leave their industries all together. I've actually heard a higher figure than that. Microsoft had a survey stating that 41% of the global workforce was contemplating a resignation. In April, according to that same article, 4 million US workers quit their jobs.

How can employers retain their employees? According to the Worth.com article leaders need to focus on employee experience, heightened communication, and relationship leadership where bonds are created beyond just the work being done and employee's place in the hierarchy.

The D CRE article had some suggested solutions:

1. Recommended employees stay put.
2. Stay in your geographic market (this helps to build your brand and relationships) - this can build your network net worth.
3. Stay in your chosen career field.
4. Stay with your current employer.
5. Stay in your profession by studying it even further.
6. Stay calm and focused on the 3 F 's - faith, family and friends.
