conducted by the Harris Poll and Talkspace for Business has found that 67% of employees who are ready to resign think employers have not fulfilled pandemic promises around mental health and well-being. With 50% of employees believing that work has become too stressful, and 41% likely to consider a job change to resolve stress– is quitting the right move?
