The Pandemic Effect
In recent months, there was the "Great Resignation." Many people were leaving their work environments. The reasons behind leaving varied. However the pandemic changed corporate America.
Some enjoyed more flexibility and working from home, while others faced unrealistic expectations from their employers. And for employers, finding reliable and hardworking employees proved to be difficult.
