Income level influences ‘great reckoning’

April 16, 2022

While there has been all this buzz around the “great resignation,” 63 per cent of Canadian workers are actually not looking to change jobs, according to a report from Mercer.

And this number has dropped from 71 per cent pre-pandemic.

Less than one in five (18 per cent) are seriously considering a move and another 19 per cent are neutral on the matter, found the survey of 1,000 Canadian workers.

“What we’re seeing is that it’s not a great resignation, it’s a ‘great reckoning.’ And it’s really a change in the employment deal, and what employees want from their companies, what they want from their employers,” says Allison Griffiths, rewards partner at Mercer, in speaking with Canadian HR Reporter.

“The employees that we had two years ago are very different people than the employees we have today. Everyone’s changed because of the pandemic. And so what people need to be productive and engaged in their work is a little different.”

Employee poaching makes sense amid the pandemic, according to one expert.
