Without readily available funds to invest in new programs, they couldn’t meet new member needs. Instead, many of them had to lay off staff and suspend programs.

The Great Resignation was a long time in the making. The warning signs included the ongoing toxic combination of low pay and overwhelming workloads endemic in nonprofit work that leads to exhaustion, mistakes, and ultimately burnout. The pandemic exacerbated these rumblings not only because these stressors increased but because people experienced a different kind of work life, with more flexibility to work from home and less hovering by management.

Traditional budgeting and forecasting methods can no longer keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving business environment. Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty. To stay ahead, finance leaders must leverage a future-forward approach—one that leverages real-time data, predictive analytics, and continuous planning to drive smarter financial decisions.

Yes, millions of people have been quitting their jobs, thus there is logic in calling in the “Great Resignation,” but it startles me that we’re not noticing how incredibly employer-centric that term is.

There is one thing I talk about in almost every one of my keynotes on culture: I’ve always been frustrated by the way “culture” is characterized as something hard to define or understand, that it’s too squishy or too complex.
