In this episode, host Daran Wastchak will be talking about a troublesome employment issue that was brought to light by a management professor at Texas A&M University in the Spring of 2021.

Prior to this, most employers knew that something very strange was going on in the labor markets, but now, thanks to this professor, they had a name for it.

We all know it now as, “The Great Resignation”.

Daran's going to talk about what the Great Resignation is and the primary drivers of this major shift in employee behavior.

More importantly, he's going to talk about how you, as a small business owner, can overcome the challenges that are a direct result of the Great Resignation.

In particular, how to win the intense battle with all other businesses, large and small, for recruiting and retaining the best employees.
