According to the headlines, the effects of the pandemic have employees hungering for a ‘change of lifestyle’ – a hunger that threatens to leave employers high and dry. Rising employee attrition rates seem to corroborate this fear, but is there a less sensationalist explanation?

In this article, you’ll find a summary of our most recent employee attrition data (as of February 2022) evidencing that the current rise in employee attrition is far from unprecedented. What news outlets have attributed to a mass cultural shift seems more like a natural rebalancing after a rather anomalous two years.
