Is the Great Resignation a positive after all? What do companies have to do to accommodate the needs of the younger workforce in order to create a rich and attractive employee experience? What kind of leadership is needed to bring about the necessary culture shifts in business? These questions and more are discussed with Nicholas Hamilton-Archer, Executive Director of Executive Education at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA.

The ‘time out’ of the last two or three years has precipitated a societal shift in which people are looking for greater freedom and self-expression. They want to bring their whole selves to work and not be bound by the old conventions of business and how it should be structured. It is in this context that the Great Resignation has been happening. The challenge now is for leaders to serve the best interests of their people to create an employee environment that attracts and retains the best talent. Please listen to Nick Hamilton-Archer insights as he points us towards these new shifts.
