Welcome to Episode 16 of Series 2 where we're discussing the reasons behind why huge numbers of people are choosing to leave the workforce. We discuss our personal experience of stepping away from unhealthy work environments and feeling set free because we recognise that we want, and deserve, better for ourselves and our families. We dive into the prevalent issue of people not being paid a living wage, much less a thriving wage, and how that and the impact of COVID-19 on an already faulty infrastructure supporting working parents has resulted in reduced childcare places and higher costs of living all around. We dive into how coming from an empowered place of "I don’t need this job to make my life work" sets you up for a workplace that enhances and supports your work-life balance because you've been made the priority. Don't let the fear of not being enough set you up to fail in the corporate world - you deserve better!
