What’s going on at work? As more and more employers across the world start to call their staff back into the office, millions of workers are saying “no.”

As Jessica Schaeffer from recruitment firm LaSalle Network tells Cheryl Casone from Fox Business, there seems to be two distinct groups of employees who are looking to quit.

People in the first group are resisting what’s become known as the hybrid model, spending several days in the office and the balance of the week at home.

In a labour market which for the first time in decades favours workers, Jessica says that people who prize the flexibility and efficiently of working from home are attracted to organisations that continue to offer the work from home option.

The second group have been sitting tight during the pandemic, grateful to have a job, but now that lockdowns are ending, they’re on the hunt for something better.

Both groups are primed right now to test the jobs market. Jessica said that LaSalle had interviewed several hundred CEOs, CFOs and personnel heads across the US about their return of staff strategies. The consensus is that the Great Resignation will begin to hit in late September (at the start of the US autumn).

So, we’ll soon see if the pandemic work from home phenomena gets locked-in and becomes permanent, or if the Great Resignation proves to be a fizzer.

As for Switched ON Living, it’s not just that we like working from home in comfortable clothes, our instincts automatically align with those who actively want to take control of their lives and their careers, who know what they want, who know what they don’t want, who have a plan to get what they want, and who have the guts to go for it.

That sounds ‘supa’ Switched ON.
