2. I have over 15 years of experience in the HR field. I
have worked for many small and midsize companies in
my whole career and even ran my own HR consulting
practices. Currently, I am working as the HR head at
Shield. As I work for a tech company, I’ve been
wondering if tech can halt the Great Resignation wave.
An estimated one in four employees quit their jobs in
2021. That’s an astonishing number. This massive
exodus caught most people off-guard, except Professor
Anthony Klotz at Texas A&M University. Resignations
are his specialty and he predicted this.

3. W h y Women Quit

T h a n M e n ?
The reasons are quite clear. The pay gap has been holding steady (in the USA) at
around 84% for the last 20 years. With men typically earning more, women often
give up their jobs to assume primary responsibility for the child – and eldercare.
When employers began demanding that people find childcare “or else,” employees
responded by exiting stage left. the number of women in the workplace is
currently at a rate so low that we haven’t seen these numbers for 30 years.
4. Pandemic is t h e
r e a s o n ?
Essentially everyone on the planet didn’t see this coming. During the first months of
the pandemic, our focus was on keeping the business stable. I think that at some point
we lost touch with the market and didn’t realize the pandemic caused people to let go
of old perceptions and adopt new ones. An estimated 3.7 million people were expected
to quit in 2020 but hung on given the unfolding uncertainty of thepandemic
5. A surprising number of employees who began working from home embraced the
remote culture and do not want to return to the office. Another study identified the key
reasons why people quit their jobs since the pandemic began. The top reasons are all
related to flexibility and knowing you’re worth. here are a few ideas on how to slow
down the Great Resignation:
Flexibility isn’t limited to working from home or not.
Succession planning is a big deal. People want to move up.
Not burning bridges is an old-school theme that may be more relevant today than
ever before.
We also need to nip stigma in the bud

The employer’s optics around a percentage of women employed falls sharply (50%) and
exacerbates the challenges of finding a replacement. HR is going to struggle to find
another woman (particularly a woman of color) to fill that vacancy. Here’s another
opportunity for a tech-enabled solution: analyze the e-Communications amongst
workers to establish how the employees who identify as women are feeling, what’s been
said to them, and what they are saying to each other.
7. C o n c l u s i o n
Businesses – HR leaders in particular – need to find ways to halt the Great
Resignation. Our collective losses as individuals and as organizations are impossible
to tally. HR talent, ironically, is now the most difficult talent to replace because HR
is burnt out trying to manage the complexities of health, wellness, and
employment in the pandemic. Not to mention overrun with the increasing
practice of ghosting by new hires. Anywhere that we can embrace technology or
training behooves us. Something to think about….
