Former royals and current residents of California hail the recent rise in the number of people leaving their jobs – what has been called “Great Resignation, “Call it” something to be commemorated. “

Speaking of his involvement with the coaching company BetterUp, Harry said Fast company that he sees the current wave of resignations as “an indication of one’s self-perception of the need for change.” He continued, “many people around the world have been stuck in jobs that don’t bring them joy, and now they are putting their mental health and well-being first.” Okay, can you tell that to my dad?

Through his Director of Impact at BetterUp, the Duke of Sussex hopes to promote “mental fitness” in the workplace, an extension of the work he has done promoting health psychiatry for many years. “We are just beginning to wake up to mental health. he said.

So the next time a nosy neighbor or family member asks you why you quit your job, just tell them, “Prince Harry told me.” You can’t argue with royalty.
