Extracted Content: Gallup recently discovered that 48% of U.S. workers — most of them not engaged or actively disengaged — are looking for a new job or keeping an eye on opportunities. The “help wanted” signs blanketing cities and recruiter messages filling inboxes are telltale, and open positions are at a record high.
It’s called the “Great Resignation,” and it will likely sort itself out over the next year or so as unemployment runs out, children return to school and people are safer in groups.
But following that megatrend will be another problem: an insufficient number of managers to coach the enormous pool of professional labor automation will create. That problem has the potential to be far more damaging than the Great Resignation — but it’s also far easier to solve.
