The so-called “great resignation” isn’t slowing down. Since April 2020, about 20 million employees have quit their jobs, according to Marketplace. And according to a Microsoft survey from March, 41 percent of the global workforce said they intend to leave their job this year.
The pandemic contributed to so many people leaving their jobs. But burnout is another factor. How can workers prevent their own burnout? And how can employers retain and recruit staff?
On Monday at 9 a.m., MPR News host Angela Davis speaks with MPR senior economics contributor Chris Farrell and journalist Jennifer Moss, who recently wrote a book about burnout.
And we want to hear from you: Do you feel burnt out? Are you doing anything to combat your burnout? Is there anything your employer can do to help? If you’re an employer, what have you tried? Does it work? Call us at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.
