Launched by COVID-19, the Great Resignation has evolved into the Great Reshuffling of the global workforce. Across the private sector, amongst the nonprofit world, and throughout higher education, millions of Americans have quit their jobs. Many are considering multiple opportunities with promises of higher pay, a better culture, remote work, and an emphasis on work-life balance.
Will this continue, given the current economic instability and potential recession?
How can nonprofits and universities protect and grow their workforce in competition with the generous salaries and flexibility offered in the private sector?
Is this a “perfect storm or the new norm” that will redefine how organizations recruit, build culture and try to retain their employees?
The University of Arizona Center for the Philosophy of Freedom, as part of its Public Discussion Forum series of moderated issue panels addressing industry and societal challenges, is bringing together nationally renowned experts to define the Great Reshuffling, detail what employers need to know and highlight the opportunities and risks for people looking to cash in. For those in organizational leadership positions and those planning their careers, this discussion will provide excellent insight and the opportunity to interact with participants.
