In a Year of the Great Resignation, Corporations Need to Prepare for the Great Investigation
Millions of people have quit their jobs this year. Leaving workplaces in record-high numbers, employees are forging new paths, reimagining what work means to them and leveraging the ongoing talent wars in search of promotions and better pay.
