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.
