The Great Resignation – What Are You Resigning From…And To?
It’s been called the Great Resignation – and for the more seasoned worker, the Great Retirement. Goldman Sachs estimated last fall that more than half of those who had left the workforce during the COVID era were over 55. Forbes referred to this exodus as the ’Silver Tsunami’ as Baby Boomers and Generation Xers were laid off; or they left their jobs to enjoy life experiences without the stress of a demanding job.
Does the Great Resignation represent a challenge or an opportunity for 40+ members? During this session, you will identify opportunities to benefit from the Great Resignation.
