Recent social events have permeated through many facts of society, including the workplace, where employers’ priorities and values have been put under scrutiny in response.   

Bucky Fairfax, DBA ‘21, and his colleagues and his colleagues sought to find out if there was any correlation between the dual pandemics and their effect on employees job search intent, and how these factors played out across generations.  

They found that generation had a significant effect on employees search for new jobs in response to employers’ response to social events, showing that organizations will need to be mindful of how these events, and their response, shape workplace behavior.
