Stories around the Great Resignation first began in the United States during the COVID pandemic. The phrase “The Great Resignation” became part of our vocabularly after being coined by American academic Anthony Klotz to reference the high volume of employees all resigning from positions around seemingly the same time.
The narrative around this cultural phenomenon soon took on a life of its own and began to reach burnt out employees across the border in Canada as well. Today 24% of Canadian workers are new to their current role or position, a recent survey says.
With massive layoffs during lockdowns, it’s no wonder workers began to rethink whether they feel fairly compensated or whether their jobs were meaningful, fulfilling, and worthwhile enough. Ultimately this line of questioning resulted in a major increase in people seeking a career change.
The concept of the Great Resignation created an opportunity for individuals to get into an industry where they feel they can make more of a difference. Competitive compensation and job flexibility also seemed to be commonly cited contributing factors for switching positions or fields.
This motivational movement naturally led to a rise in those who became interested in owning their own business. People wanted to enjoy more freedom and the sense of satisfaction that comes with being your own boss and working towards building a future for yourself.
For many, this desire for freedom led them to franchising. It can be risky and intensively difficult to start your own business from nothing. As illustrated below, the benefits of partnering with a franchise to receive a proven model, established brand, and ongoing support often makes it the more appealing option to those first seeking to be business owners:
