Great Resignation? | Why some industries are still facing a staffing crisis

The term ‘Great Resignation’ has permeated through society causing deepening concern within the business world over staffing crises in several industries.

Its impossible to read a newspaper or listen to the radio without hearing about the “strange phenomenon” that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, when workers contemplated their own lives and mortality and how they were spending their precious time.
