Hello and welcome back to the show!
This week we've got two meaty topics - new research from the USA which suggests 1 in 4 people want to leave their job post-pandemic, and research which confirms that women are taking the brunt of the 'household management' during this time to the detriment of their mental health.
We start by talking about mental load, particularly as single parents, and our own experiences during the pandemic. We cover what specifically is difficult and what might be needed to get parents who have been carrying significantly more than normal during this period back to full mental good health.
And then, in Work in the News, we talk about why people may be thinking of quitting their jobs, their industry and maybe even their whole lifestyle, what we in HR can do to re-think some of the fundamentals of 'career', advancement and professional development and even the idea of an amnesty where give ourselves and others in the organisation permission to admit they aren't fully on board so we can get to the heart of what the issue is...and try and find solutions.
We'd love to know your thoughts on these topics especially if you have particular experience or disagree with our assessment!
