Show Notes

"I will not pay for employees to train while I am paying them to work," said the CEO of a company. It reminds me of the CFO that told the CEO, "If we train our people, they will leave for a better job." The CEO replied, "What if we don't train them, and they stay?" This polarized thinking forms the foundation for organizations' challenges during the Great Resignation. 

The idea that the job (with a paycheck) alone will retain employees is unfortunate. The concept of work is evolving as the generations change. Companies must now compete with the Gig Economy and other organizations for the same talent. We have seen nothing like this in the history of the modern workplace.
