Just a little more patience and resilience…
At this point in time, early June 2021, I am noticing that people are exhausted.
Exhausted by the constant change driven by the pandemic results, relentless on-screen demands, social upheaval in the spotlight, the horrific news regarding our Indigenous children, the uncertainty of the workplace, and ever-changing summer plans.
In addition, it appears that talent retention, post-pandemic, could be a huge issue. The Ceridian 2021 Pulse of Talent survey of 5,010 adults across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand states that the majority of workers (67%) are now open to new opportunities.
I have the privilege of working with several organizations, supporting leaders as they navigate through this moment. At the same time, I am conducting research regarding what is required of leaders during and after a crisis.
My plan is to spend the next few months, with my clients, synthesizing information and creating practical tools for our next steps into a new workplace era. This information will be available in our next blog, scheduled for early fall.
There is definitely light on the horizon, and I’m feeling carefully optimistic. A little more patience and resilience are my current character requirements.
I am very grateful to you for faithfully reading the blog.
Wishing you some rest and the best summer possible,
