"This year’s report tracks the fallout of COVID-19’s impact on job quality and reveals that work-life balance, health and wellbeing, job security and the rising cost of living are key issues. Our evidence suggests that there is still work to be done to support career development and improve line manager capability to improve staff retention. But also shows that the ‘great resignation’ or ‘great rethink’ has been somewhat overstated."
