In August, 4.3 million Americans resigned, beating the previous record, set in April. We are probably too close to the “great resignation” – the term coined by the US academic Anthony Klotz for the wave of pandemic “quits” – to understand it properly, but it shows signs of being more than a blip. It’s always interesting when the balance of power shifts in a relationship – and it feels as if that is the case now. You hear a lot about retention – and its shiny cousin “incentivisation” – at the moment, often coupled with the word “talent”, as if Dave from accounts might issue a rider demanding baskets of newborn spaniels and bowls of blue tropical Skittles before he deigns to tackle this month’s payroll. W hen “retention” becomes a buzzword, you know something has shifted in the world of work.
