Episode notes
The "Great Resignation"
- While resignations are at an all-time high, this "great resignation" is primarily driven by a hot job market.
- Employees are switching jobs for better pay and work-from-home options, not necessarily leaving the workforce.
Tailoring WFH Policies
- For larger companies, adopting a middle-ground hybrid model (2-3 days WFH) is generally advisable.
- Smaller firms, however, have the flexibility to cater to niche preferences, such as fully remote or fully in-person.
Small Business Strategy
- Larger firms often adopt a 2-3 or 3-2 hybrid model.
- Small businesses can differentiate themselves by offering fully remote or fully in-person options, attracting specific employee segments.
