Employee Experience!

During the pandemic, especially with workplace transition, the dynamics of daily business have changed irreversibly. The level of anxiety has come to a point where most people struggled with mental health. Work-life balance was almost impossible to manage, and the borders were not clear anymore. Moreover, internal communication has never been this hard.

So, what happened? Resignation waves have started all over the World, which is called Great Resignation. Employees have started to reconsider the meaning of their lives which led to Quiet Quitting, which is deprioritizing work over social needs. Employees who experienced severe burnout cases have given up their careers for good. According to McKinsey’s Report, 44% of the leavers do not think of returning to traditional work in the next six months and 36% of the leavers quit their job without an alternative offer.
