Subject: The Great Resignation Reinforces the Value of a People-First Workplace Culture

Nearly two-thirds of U.S. employees say the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted them to reflect on their life’s purpose, and many are no longer willing to stay in unfulfilling jobs or work for employers that don’t treat employees, people, or the planet well. This growing movement — and the challenges of the last two years — have leaders in the Certified B Corporation community turning to their company’s mission and values as sources of stability and resilience for themselves and their stakeholders.
In the spirit of interdependence, this week’s articles from the B Corp community share ideas and resources to help businesses better support employees and navigate the ongoing waves of change.
