Episode 37 - The Great Resignation with Margaret Millett
Monday May 09, 2022
Monday May 09, 2022
The phrase "May you live in interesting times" is an expression that is claimed to be an ancient Chinese curse. While it might sound like blessing, it rarely is. Living through the pandemic and now the great resignation, these are indeed interesting times.
Hello everyone and welcome to episode 37 of the Resilient Journey. My guest today is one of those people we claim needs no introduction. Industry icon Margaret Millett joins me this week on the podcast as we talk about the great resignation.
Listen as Margaret discusses how the great resignation may create critical gaps in your organization, how to adjust business continuity practices to help organizations be more prepared, and why you might even want to consider changing some things in your BIA.
We also get into some practical advice for helping business continuity and resilience professionals head off some problems before they occur.

If you’ve never had to respond to a cyberattack or been forced to make difficult time-sensitive decisions, and if you haven’t given serious thought to how you would respond, it’s safe to say you could be headed for a whole lot of trouble.

We will discuss why this isn’t just an IT problem, how to involve your crisis management team and how to be as prepared as possible to make those difficult decisions.
