We have two employers that pay the bills in our house. Both are in boring regulated industries and both didn’t see any loss in profits during COVID.
Employer A took an organized approach to return to office and has realized a lot of employee gains from work from home (in fairness, the company is fairly spread out across Canada, so it does make sense that work from home wasn’t a big deal). They have not seen any change in attrition rates.
Employer B forced everyone back to the office in chaotic fashion despite feedback from employees. The company is now facing unprecedented attrition and vacancy rates and is having a huge problem recruiting, especially for specific skill sets. Interestingly, there has been very little attrition in field roles, so it is all coming from white collar office jobs.
