How to navigate the Great Resignation: The reading list for HR leaders

Cornerstone Editors

As pandemic restrictions begin to lift, there’s an emerging trend at work running parallel to returning to the office: People are quitting their jobs in record numbers. In the U.S. in May 2021, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported more than five million people left their jobs.

And that trend doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

According to a 2021 Microsoft survey, 41% of U.S. workers consider quitting or changing professions this year. And that’s just in the U.S. A study of U.K. and Ireland workers showed that 38% planned to leave their jobs in the next six to twelve months.

For organization leaders, those numbers can be both good and worrisome. If you’re hiring, there are now more great candidates available than ever. The other side of that is that you’re now going to have to work harder to keep your best people.

To help you navigate the Great Resignation and come out the other side with a stronger workforce, we put together a reading list of what you need to know.

Create a learning culture

Life is learning. Your people want to grow their skills and stretch their brains. And if you aren’t helping them do that, they’ll go somewhere that will. The best way to retain employees during the Great Resignation is to make learning the core of your people’s everyday work.

Upskill your people

Learning can be a core tenant of your organization, but that doesn’t mean much if people aren’t learning in ways that benefit them and your organization. Just learning for learning’s sake doesn’t help anyone in the long run. So focus on engaging your people to learn and upskill in ways that benefit you both.

Knowing where to start can be almost more challenging than the actual learning and upskilling. That’s why we made this list of the three places to focus your efforts when just getting your reskilling efforts started. — Bridge the workforce skills gap: 3 key places to start

Utilize ethical AI

As a society, we tend to still think of AI in terms of robot apocalypses. But those are just movies. When you build ethical AI, your organization does more to personalize work to each person while aligning them more with your organizational goals.

We’ve been moving away from classroom learning for a while, and the pandemic only sped that up.
