As the U.S. continues opening up after the pandemic’s multiple waves, it’s likely that there will be surges in turnover even as many employers need more staff, not less. Research from Eagle Hill Consulting suggests that 25 percent of current employees are already planning to leave their jobs, and this percentage goes up for parents whose children are going to school remotely, and as high as 36 percent for Millennial employees.
Sadly, this makes sense. Remote schooling causes tremendous pressure and conflict for parents, and it’s widely acknowledged that employees are generally feeling burned out. It can seem like quitting or going somewhere new would solve all these problems, even though that’s often an inaccurate perception.
