While most parts of the world are heading towards the management stage of the pandemic, working conditions are at the height of their transformation. Over the last year and a half, we have seen how working space and time concepts could be reformed. Businesses that are not able to change their own paradigms and drive innovation now face the danger of not only being unattractive for new talents, but also of losing the talents they already own.
It’s the phenomenon of the “Great Resignation”, expression coined to state the elevated number of employees that have changed their job in these last months, worldwide. A survey conducted by Microsoft of more than 30.000 workers globally, has shown that 41% is considering to turn in their notice or switch profession this year or has already done it. The reasons behind their choice are different: for some, the pandemic has accelerated a change of priorities, encouraging them to pursue a “dream job” or switch to a simpler dimension, but for many of them the driver has been the gap between their own new values and the ones of their company, still clinging to past traditions.
Assurex Global, the independent insurance broker network on a global scale of which Strategica Group is a Partner and exclusive Associate in Italy, recently conducted a survey during a webcast dedicated to the network, on how enterprises are managing the phenomenon of the “Great Resignation”. The findings revealed that over 60% of employers are seriously concerned about it, and an equal number of managers are taking measures to contain the consequences on their workforce.
In detail, the query “Is your company concerned with The Great Resignation that some experts are predicting?”, 21.3% responded “Yes, and it’s starting to impact our workforce”, 43,7% said “Yes, we have some concerns” and only 35% said they have no concerns at all. On top of that, 30.1% of them is taking some tangible action to contain the phenomenon, and 29.8% is mulling over it.
New welfare policies for employees, suitable resources for their wellness, benefits responding to concrete and current necessities: enterprises should seize this moment to reconsider and modify their staff benefit programmes. At the same time, hiring processes, salaries, talents development and growth should also be adapted to the paradigms of a new reality and to the values of new generations.
