The Great Resignation and DEI: Essential Updates for Employers
Employers across every industry are feeling the pain of the Great Resignation. Americans have quit their jobs at a record pace in the last couple of years, leaving very tight labor markets everywhere. Per a Pew study, the US had its highest “quit rate” in 20 years in November 2021. The New York Times recently noted that even in blue-collar industries, workers have left their jobs and are becoming more selective than ever about their next roles. (Typically, being so selective about roles is a luxury limited to those of a higher socioeconomic status.) In today’s job market, workers at all levels are demanding better options, including, but not limited to, their work environments, compensation, opportunities for remote work, and a general sense of belonging, among others. One of the most significant contributing factors to these high resignation rates is a lack of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in workplaces.
