At least 8 out of 10 women feel that since the beginning of the pandemic their workload has been increasing and job satisfaction had decreased so significantly that many women were considering leaving their jobs.
Agree with a survey conducted by Deloitte to 5, 000 women from 10 different countries, there is a worrying evolution for working women in an “epidemic of exhaustion” or “burnout”.
The 53% of women reported higher stress levels than a year ago, with delayed mental health and almost non-existent work-life balance.
Women are more likely to be looking for a new position than a year ago, and burnout is the main driving factor: almost 40 % of women who bu actively seeking a new employer mentioned it as the main reason.
More than half of the women want to leave their employer in the next two years, and only 10% plan to stay with their current employer for more than five years.
A national trend of resignations across the country is leaving companies dealing with the loss of institutional knowledge in their workforce as they try to adapt to a post-covid-pandemic normality-35 allowing flexibility for workers who now they are used to years of working away from the office.
“Companies should heed this warning,” he told NBC Emma Codd, Global Inclusion Leader at Deloitte.
“For employers who want to retain amazing women, this is a challenge. You’ve got these women in your workforce who can contribute a lot, and right now they’re sitting there saying, ‘Guess what? I’m ‘burned’.’”, he added.
