If you scan your LinkedIn feed, there’s a good chance you’ll see signs of the Great Reshuffle -- a moment that LinkedIn CEO, Ryan Roslansky describes as unlike anything we've seen in the history of work. Employees are rethinking not only how they work, but why they work. Professionals are prioritizing both flexibility and fulfillment. They're ready to make changes and learn the skills to make it happen.

While this change can take many forms, for some it means looking for a new job. In April 2021, our data showed that two-thirds of the workforce have either left their job or are considering it.

The good news is U.S. hiring was nearly 70% higher in June 2021 compared to June 2020, indicating that professionals may have better and faster success in finding a new gig.

This change is also happening within companies. If you’re considering making a change within your company, it's good to keep in mind that organizations are rethinking their entire workforce and workplace models, cultures, and company values to accommodate employee needs and preferences.

To help professionals make the most of the Great Reshuffle, we've unlocked several learning paths you can use to develop skills needed to navigate this moment, including finding a new job amid the shift, managing workload and overcoming burnout, and adapting to hybrid work.

For people managers, we've unlocked learning paths to help you build skills that ensure you’re the kind of manager no one wants to leave, and that you can support your team through the transition to hybrid work.

For HR pros and others leading the effort to keep employees happy and safe during this new hybrid world of work, we're unlocking learning paths to help you build the skills to lead through this time of change, and to implement hybrid work.
