In its research titled The Great X, Michael Page claimed that the phenomenon, which was initiated by the global pandemic and had already been occurring for the past two years, will only become more pronounced in 2023.

The tendency is expected to persist across industries, markets, levels of seniority, and age groups, according to the report.

The research said, "We must be prepared for it to increase. The clear majority says a huge talent migration event is upon us in the next few months."

According to the survey, the five primary reasons for resignations are: changing careers or industries, dissatisfaction with pay; professional advancement; and dissatisfaction with the company's strategy or direction.

According to a report based on a survey of 12 nations, most workers who intend to leave their jobs are from India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia.
