Great resignation is driven by values

The great resignation has shown that many employers are changing to jobs with better perks such as flexibility, work-life balance or pay. But there is also a growing narrative that employees are quitting based on how well corporate values align with their own.

Emerging data suggests employees are becoming more ethically driven. 80% of US and Canadian workers surveyed stated it was important that company values matched their own. But, there is a disconnect. Only 57% of employees reported their values did align, and only half of the respondents stated that a misalignment would cause them to quit.
