In this brief presentation, the speaker reflects on the 2021‑2022 period dubbed the “great resignation,” noting that unprecedented employee turnover was not merely a generational issue but was significantly driven by the rapid shift to virtual work. The move to remote environments, according to the speaker, left behind essential elements of workplace culture, community, and interpersonal chemistry. As a result, leaders seeking high retention rates must deliberately create and nurture a virtual culture that restores these missing components, and the speaker asserts that this is both necessary and achievable.

The truth was that we had moved a lot of people into a virtual world and we had left culture and community and chemistry behind. And as a leader today, you want to retain at a high level, you better solve for creating a virtual culture, and you can do it.
