Can collaboration tech help address the Great Resignation?

The Great Resignation is a growing economic trend that is impacting the businesses world. Since April 2021, job quits across the US have hit record highs with consistent levels of 4m+ people a month choosing to leave their employment. The trend has been mirrored in Europe with record numbers on the move.

Also known as the the Big Quit and the Great Reshuffle, the term was originally coined by Organisational Psychologist Professor Anthony Klotz. He predicted the pandemic would lead to pent-up resignations as people strived for a healthier work/life balance. But the trend seems to be continuing. Research across 44 countries, by PWC, revealed that one in five were likely to change job in the next year.

Additional technology to consider that provides the freedom to collaborate are tools such as touchscreen displays. They offer 4K resolution to enable people to work up close to the screen and still see all the detail. With up to 20 simultaneous touch points, as well as the distinction between finger, pen, and hand eraser, and an ultra-precise writing experience, multiple people can work on the display at the same time.

As the research is beginning to suggest, there are many reasons behind the Great Resignation trend but for those businesses battling to attract and keep the best talent, technology can certainly help in making employees feel valued and able to contribute – wherever they may be working.
