How the Great Resignation Will Shape HR and the Future of Work

by Workhuman

As companies grapple with a vastly different post-pandemic work-world, there’s been a palpable shift in power. After more than a year and a half of uncertainty, workers are now more certain than ever of what they will and won’t tolerate at work. Stress, burnout, and isolation have put new expectations on the table. And if companies can’t or won’t put the human at the centre of work, employees are more than happy to look for opportunity elsewhere.

In this survey, Workhuman® iQ polled more than 3,500 workers in the U.K., Ireland, U.S. and Canada on their connection to their jobs and their companies and what’s on the horizon for their careers.
