Workers are going to keep job hopping for better conditions for the foreseeable future. That’s according to new research released by Ecsell Institute. The study surveyed hundreds of employees working for companies throughout the U.S. A full 25% of employees carry a moderate to high risk of leaving their jobs within the next 12 months.
The Ecsell Institute also found that managers have a great deal of ability to retain their teams. Only 15% of those who report to a high-performing manager are at risk of leaving, while 66% of those who report to a low-performing manager are likely to leave the company.
“If our data is any indication, the saying that ‘people don’t quit their jobs, they quit their bosses’ is entirely true,” said Bill Eckstrom, CEO of Ecsell Institute. “On an individual level, managers have the power to end the Great Resignation for their companies and make 2022 their year of Great Retention.”

Aptum, a hybrid multi-cloud managed service provider, has released part one of its annual Cloud Impact Study 2022. The report explores the deployment of workloads on different cloud infrastructures and examines the decision-making process behind their placement.
Key findings include:
- The majority of IT decision-makers plan to increase their organization’s use of public cloud (78%) and private cloud (72%) infrastructure over the next 18-24 months
- Eighty-six percent (86%) of respondents said their organization has adopted a hybrid or multi-cloud approach to cloud deployment
- A vast majority of the respondents also recognized many of the benefits the cloud delivers to their organizations, with the majority agreeing it has delivered on expected efficiencies (90%)
“When the pandemic hit, many organizations reacted hastily to moving applications to the cloud and neglected some workload considerations that have since become apparent. So, while organizations see benefits from the cloud, they could have been more successful in their endeavors when the shift first took place if the requirements of each application were carefully evaluated,” said Chris David, Aptum’s Senior Cloud Product Leader. “Contrary to widely held belief, the cloud boomerang effect isn’t simply about moving workloads from cloud platforms back to traditional infrastructure. More accurately, the boomerang is the movement of applications between development and operations teams.”
