Episode 266 The Great Resignation or The Great Re-Evaluation

In this episode of The Lead Up Podcast, Mike speaks about The Great Resignation.. or The Great Re-evaluation. Mike shares the main reasons why employees are leaving their jobs and provides you with some tools and strategies you can use to attract other company's top performers and prevent your best talent from leaving. Research has shown that 87% of employees who are thinking of quitting their jobs would stay with an employer/company that makes them feel valued and developed. 

The most common questions employees are asking themselves in the workplace right now are:

  1. Do I really want to do this work?
  2. Do I really want to work from home?
  3. Do I really want to work in an office?
  4. Is the work that I am doing meaningful?
  5. Am I happy working for my boss?

Mike explains how the No.1 reason why employees are leaving their jobs is that they don’t like the culture of the company and they don’t like their boss. He dives into how COVID-19 and the pandemic have exposed the weaknesses of leaders and how it is driving The Great Resignation… or The Great Re-evaluation. Mike also speaks about how employees choose their employers.

Here are some strategies you as a leader can use to be attractive to employees:

  1. Be a leader that is focused on developing skills and talent
  2. Be aware that people want skills that will help them grow up the ladder, they don’t just want to go to work and grab a paycheck
  3. Ensure your supervisors are showing appreciation for your staff – test out the high-five method
  4. Is your culture one that would attract top performers?
  5. Is your team better than the one employees are leaving?
