What are boomerang employees in the world of work?

À propos de cet épisode

You may remember that we talked about the Great Resignation a little while back on Do You Really Know. The trend saw millions of workers across the US quit their jobs in 2021 and 2022 in particular, with a similar pattern being seen in other Western countries too. Well it might have seemed like a great idea at the time for a lot of those resignees, but it hasn’t been all rosy for some of them since. A 2023 survey by American HR solutions provider Paychex suggested that as many as 80% of workers who quit during the Great Resignation already regretted their decision to do so. There’s always a good reason for having left a job though, isn’t there? Surely, it’s better to leave the past in the past?! Is the boomeranging trend really that common?
