The Great Resignation: Understanding the NO and the HELL YES

This is a thought-provoking and timely UNCORK Conversation with leadership speaker, consultant, trainer, coach, and author Alain Hunkins 

Alain and I dialogue about the impact and implications for employees, employers, and leaders of the fact that the U.S. Labor Department reported that a record 7.6 million people quit their jobs in April and May of 2021. and that The 2021 WORK TREND INDEX shows that 41% of the workforce is considering leaving their employer this year 

The Great Resignation: 

What is it? In what sense is it "great"? Why and how is it "great" or could it be "great"? 

How do employees, employers, and leaders Lean into the wind of the Great Resignation?

What Values and Ideologies are people Resigning from and resigning to. 

As we explore these questions, Alain shares some ideas and wisdom (from his book) on the desire of employees to have Safety. Be Energized. Have Ownership. And find Purpose in their jobs and How Managers and Leaders must make sure that their behaviour, systems and structures help meet and address these four core needs and expectations … especially during these times.

Alain will encourage and challenge you to understand that leaders that Lean into being exceptionally more human and more communicative and focus on facilitating more connection, communication, and collaboration will position themselves and their organization to weather this storm, harness this wind, and create positive momentum.
