232 wordsAll Latest News, Arts and Culture, Business Record Insider, The Insider NotebookThis point in the period of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic is increasingly being referred to as the “Great Resignation,” to characterize the labor shortages facing many industries. But LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky frames this period as a time of transition, more of a “Great Reshuffle,” at least for Gen Z and millennial workers. The executive shared with Time magazine his insight into what workers want and how LinkedIn is working to help them find it. He said employees have a new power to ask employers for better benefits or flexible hours, and the transformation of the employer-employee relationship “places LinkedIn in a strong, singular position to really help shape the new world of work.” Roslansky calls it a “reshuffle” instead because LinkedIn metrics show the number of members that changed their job in their profile is up 54% from last year; it’s also up 80% among Gen Z workers. Secondly, he expects as companies adjust their cultures and post-pandemic workplaces, talent will return. “While this reshuffle of talent will most likely play out for another year or two, I believe it will ultimately settle back down in a place that’s going to lead to greater effectiveness for businesses, greater fulfillment for employees,” he told Time. In addition to adopting flexibility in leadership, Roslansky said he predicts the top-down leadership style will fade in favor of a more collaborative approach to decision-making.
