The Great ReShuffle: Pushing the Workplace to be More Equitable

In the past year, partially due to the pandemic and partially due to a new generation of working professionals intent on maintaining their autonomy, we have seen what has been deemed “The Great Reshuffle.” This phenomenon is characterized by masses of employees changing industries in search of better pay, more flexible work arrangements, and companies that better align with their personal values. Millennial workers have been gravitating towards companies with union protection and a focus on worker mental health, while GenZ workers are pushing companies to prioritize equity and social impact. As a result, this Great Reshuffle is forcing many organizations to reevaluate the ways in which they interact with their workforce and diverse communities. While this has led to positive changes for employees, it has also brought about new challenges for organizational leaders.

Tune in to the DEI Business Solutions team at the USC Race and Equity Center for a conversation around ways organizations have responded to the Great Reshuffle, and hear from those pushing their organizations to better support employees, their communities, and the environment.
