A record 4.5 million people quit their jobs in November 2021. In some
industries, there are now more job openings than there are workers.
While the reasons people quit are varied, from childcare concerns to Covid, higher pay to flexible working, businesses still need to find ways to differentiate themselves from similar companies within their industry, not just to buyers, but to potential employees, too.
This means that businesses need to work harder than ever to stand out in the highly competitive labour market.

What this episode will cover:

We’ve witnessed a global tidal wave of resignations, driven largely by the pandemic. Employees are suffering burnout, as well as reprioritising the need for a work-life balance and job satisfaction. This ‘Great Resignation’ negatively impacts organisations as they grapple with the loss of talent and impact on business continuity.
Could Employee Advocacy be the key to combatting the effect of the Great Resignation and improving the employee experience? It’s a powerful strategy that can be used beyond sales and marketing. It can also help with retaining and attracting top talent.
How? Well, for your employee advocacy to work you need a positive and supportive company culture and that means putting people first.
