An estimated 34 million people have quit their jobs this year — will employers let these numbers grow in 2022?

According to a survey by the job search engine, Monster, as many as 95% of workers have considered quitting their jobs, naming burnout and lack of career mobility as their top reasons. In order to retain employees, employers need to create a company culture that puts the worker first, says Jarik Conrad, vice president of human insights and human capital management advisory at UKG.

While simpler said than done, Conrad stresses that companies not only give employees the time and space for feedback, but genuinely attempt to address grievances or challenges their workers are reporting.

“When employees tell us what they want, we don’t necessarily respond in a way that meets their needs,” says Conrad. “The worst thing you can do is conduct a survey, then do nothing about it.”
