The Great Resignation is far from over for women in careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics with 50 percent of STEM + women ready to quit their job. Gotara (http://www.gotara.com), creator of the leading global career growth platform for women in STEM +, today announced its REACH Report results for the first half of 2022. Gotara has more than 13,000 members across 160 countries, and recently surveyed its women in STEM + (members and non-members alike) for the Gotara REACH Report offering a post-pandemic analysis to capture the state of STEM+ women’s careers. The average years of experience of those who participated was 13.5, creating a significant brain drain and negative impact on diversity and inclusion efforts if the challenges of attrition aren’t quickly and systemically addressed.
In 2021, a record 48 million people (about twice the population of Texas) quit their jobs, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. This became known as the Great Resignation. Throughout the pandemic, women were at the forefront of the Great Resignation, with payroll provider Gusto finding that the quit rate for all women was 1.1 percentage point higher than men.
