Great Resignation, Great Reflection or just plain Burnout…
So much has already been written about the “Great Resignation” and people valuing themselves and choosing employment that matched their values. In this article, I’d like to discuss burnout and perhaps substitute the word ‘Reflection’ for ‘Resignation’.
We’ve known for many years that women tend to statistically do more in the home than men. At this point, I will apologise to those who identify as other than men or women – I am purposefully targeting the large groups of people who identify as traditional genders to illustrate my points. To quote a recent McKinsey podcast “The state of burnout for women in the workplace”, “One in three women, and 60 percent of mothers with young children… spend five or more hours a day on housework and caregiving.” Five or more hours per day.
