The Great Resignation leads to us wondering -- where are people
going and what are they looking for? News 12 New Jersey’s Tony
Caputo sat down with an employment agent to find out.
“They want to keep learning and growing. So
instead of staying with one company, they’ll go to another company that can
maybe offer them more money or a better career path or better benefits or work
remotely,” says Pridestaff owner Manisha Subramanian.
Those with the employment agency Pridestaff have seen the
Great Resignation firsthand -- today’s generation working more for passion than
for money.
“The generation now wants a little bit more of a work-life
balance. Maybe our generation or the one before we were concerned about
bringing home a paycheck,” says Subramanian. “A lot of them are also living
with mom and dad, so they don’t have all the costs involved.”
Pridestaff benefits as companies constantly call needing
employees, but it’s certainly not without its costs and
frustrations.
“A lot of people who say they want to work, we try and place them
somewhere and they either walk off the assignment or the job is not for them,”
says Subrananian.
