How Insurers Can Manage The "Great Resignation"

If you didn’t quit your job this year, chances are you’re thinking about it: 41 percent of the global workforce is considering leaving their employer this year according to a Microsoft study.

U.S. workers are quitting in record numbers: 4.3 million resigned in August, nearly 3 percent of the U.S. workforce and the most in the 20 years since Department of Labor began keeping track.

This followed 3.98 million resignations in July and 3.99 million in April.

The mass exodus has employers worried.
