Adapting to the Great Resignation with Kate Thomas
The pandemic fuelled the perfect employment storm.
Some saw it as an opportunity, a catalyst for positive change, a chance to slow down and reflect on what drives us as Individuals and what’s important to us. Others saw it as a chance to get clarity around what their next career move needed to look like. For many, they took the opportunity to retire earlier than planned.
The Great Resignation had started and suddenly companies needed to move quickly to retain and attract key talent.
How could companies see the Great Resignation as an opportunity?
For some leaders physically stepping away from their organisations forced them to question if it was right for them in the first place and this pause or remote style of working has given them the space to reflect on what’s really important to them moving forwards.
Experts were forced to debate topics such as infrastructure, values and culture and how that drove an emotional attachment to their organisations outside of financial reward.
HR and OD professionals saw this as an opportunity to redesign their employee proposition to drive a new people-first agenda.
As a leadership effectiveness expert what recommendations would Kate make on how companies could move forward in the aftermath of the Great Resignation?
Kate Thomas has spent over 20 years consulting to organisations regarding talent-centric strategies, leadership effectiveness and organisational development. Her career has spanned multiple geographies and sectors, spending significant time sup-porting organisations undergoing transformation.
Kate came highly recommended to me, and I am therefore looking forward to discussing with her how to increase loyalty to reduce the impact and also benefit in these unpredictable times.
