The pandemic encouraged many to do an audit of their lives. It brought a break from our entrenched routines, and with it came a recalibration of work and home, and a recognition that life is too short to be doing something you don't love. Enter the 'Great Resignation'.
This term that was coined by US professor Dr Anthony Klotz, refers to the significant number of employees expected to leave their current roles during or towards the end of the pandemic. Pandemic-related 'epiphanies' about family time, remote work, commuting, passion projects, life and death have changed the way employees think about work, explains Dr Klotz of the movement.
Last November, the US Bureau of Labour Statistics announced that 4.5 million Americans left their jobs voluntarily, and in the UK, as many as one in 20 people were doing the same. While local stats are still to be seen, it's clear from social media and conversations among peers that many have resignation on their mind.
Whether you're considering a leap or have just taken one, asking yourself the following questions will help you plan your next move.
