In this episode, Karen Kirton explores the concept of the Great Resignation, a term used to describe the significant increase in workforce turnover seen in many countries, including Australia. She discusses why employees are leaving, the key drivers behind this trend, and what businesses can do to strengthen retention and workplace culture.

In today’s episode, you will learn about:

• The main reasons behind the Great Resignation, including changing attitudes toward work-life balance, deferred resignations, dissatisfaction with employer response during the pandemic, and a desire for remote work flexibility.
• How businesses can proactively respond by understanding what their employees truly want and improving workplace culture before retention issues escalate.
• The importance of employee engagement and satisfaction surveys to measure workplace sentiment, identify areas for improvement, and track progress over time.
• How roundtable discussions with employees can provide direct insights into company culture, workplace challenges, and potential improvements.
• Why leadership behaviors set the tone for employee retention and how taking action on feedback can improve engagement and loyalty.

This episode offers practical strategies for businesses looking to reduce turnover, retain key talent, and adapt to the evolving expectations of employees in the post-pandemic workplace.
