In our infographic, we tackled the “great resignation,” which refers to the ongoing difficulties in recruiting and retaining talent as a result of the stiff competition in the job market triggered by the global pandemic.
Many factors can be attributed to increasing unemployment rates and employees leaving their jobs. Initially, most experts believed that it was caused by uncertainty sparked by COVID-19. However, it soon became clear that most workers quit because of safety concerns during a global pandemic, and because their companies didn’t provide enough remote work options.
In Teleperformance’s own employee survey centered on remote work[1], we found out that 37% of our remote workers would seek a different job if asked to return to the office. This data alone paints a picture of how having a remote work option is highly important to employees – and how remote work is also an opportunity for companies and brands to rise up above the challenges brought by the great resignation by paving the way for the “great reengagement.”
From Resignation to Reengagement
In an article by Fast Company, the great reengagement is a chance for recruiters to “minimize the impact” of employees who have previously quit their jobs. Keeping their current employees close, happy, and connected must be the priority.
For companies to evolve and transition from the great resignation to the great reengagement, recruitment teams, HR, and marketing teams must work harmoniously to create a sense of belonging for their employees. Here are a few ways to start:
- Build meaningful connections by reminding employees that they come first.
- Foster a workplace culture that thrives in diversity and growth, where each employee feels valued and recognized.
- Empower employees by offering them growth and opportunities to learn even more.
- Open two-way conversations to instill healthy communication to ensure employees are aligned with values and goals.
The Ongoing Reach of Remote Work
Over time, it has become clear that remote work still has a big role to play in empowering and engaging employees in a post-pandemic landscape. In the same Work-at-Home Employee Survey, it was reported that 90% of our employees prefer to work remotely, whether exclusively or mostly.
