C-SUITE PERSPECTIVES

The Re-Sign of the Times

Steve Odland sits down with Rebecca Ray to discuss the ongoing mass resignation of workers, known as The Great Resignation.

“People leave, generally speaking, for salary increases or career development—that’s been the same for decades. But they are also leaving because they think that they might actually have a respite, a little chance to take a breather, and then start again somewhere new.”

In this episode, The Conference Board President and CEO Steve Odland sits down with Rebecca Ray, Executive Vice President of Human Capital at The Conference Board to discuss the ongoing mass resignation of workers, known as The Great Resignation. Tune in to find out:

  • What triggered this shift? Why are so many people now reexamining their relationship with their job?
  • What demographics are seeing this trend the most?
  • Will a recession prompt those who left the workforce to reevaluate their decision?
  • How can businesses better support the return of women to the workplace?
  • What should employees consider when weighing a job change?
  • What is the role of managers in retaining top talent? And how can businesses support them?
  • What other cost-effective strategies can businesses employ to retain workers?
