Think a pending recession that loosens up the labor market will resolve your workforce issues? Not so fast. Dr. Anthony Klotz of the University College London School of Management first predicted the Great Resignation in 2020. He now foresees lingering headwinds from a growing undercurrent of employee resentment and mid-level leader burn-out induced by a combination of post-pandemic work intensity and the influence of a job-hopping environment on those who stayed put.

In this panel discussion, Dr. Klotz will share insights on the industries that are likely to experience above-average quit rates over the next two years. Discover how proactive management of team dynamics can be critical to boosting morale and retention amidst perceived or real salary inequity.

Joining Dr. Klotz will be Constitution State Services leaders Keith Andersen, VP, General Liability and Bob Kreuzer, SVP, Risk Control. Together, they will explain the potential connection between staff turmoil and general liability risk as well as why strengthening employee engagement from onboarding to long-term retention is more important than ever if your organization is to be successful at creating a culture of safety.
