We're calling it the Great Resignation and the Great Attrition, but the truth of the matter is that people are tired of being treated like machines. People are tired of toxic work environments, also referred to as toxic culture. This is why upskilling in the future will be focused around human connection. There will be an abundance of occupations required for building a new society, based on caring, solidarity, social cohesion — all those values we have disregarded for so long. Now they are vital for our success.

What can we learn now about the situation we are in, with globalization being revealed all around the world?

It's good that our global connection is being revealed. Because from observing nature we can learn who we are. We can see how far we are from nature's harmony, and what we need to do. How being an integral part of nature can be learned from nature itself, something we have long since stopped doing. This new learning and awareness will direct the whole of nature to a future balance. In the meantime, it's still up to us to make the first move.

It is not easy to acquire information about how we need to relate to the system in order to bring it into balance, to mutual responsibility between all its parts. You suddenly find yourself facing some problem that you're unable to digest, to carry out, or commit to as one part of the system. But if it's an integral system, and I don't fulfill my part in the system, the whole system will not be in balance, and I will be to blame. I and the whole system will feel how much my defect is a defect in the integrity of the system. It is not easy to understand, or to implement because we are not used to thinking about our responsibility to others. We are used to mainly being concerned with ourselves.

What should be done?

Learn. Learn what a system is, what an integral, global system is. What the law of mutual responsibility is, and how we turn our interdependence from an obligatory dependence to a voluntary dependence. Right up to the point where we begin to discover just how desirable this mutual dependence is. And of course all this takes place during normal business days; the whole process happens in parallel with the continuation of normal business activity. We are simply going to acquire knowledge, new tools for knowing how to achieve good results in light of all the changes that we and the world are going through. This time, we'll try to not repeat our common mistake of doing before we fully grasp the nature of the problem we're trying to solve. Ideally we won't do anything else except begin processing this new information about the system we exist in and how it works.

Globalization, Tonga Tsunami and The Pandemic

As we follow the spreading of the "highly contagious Omicron," and updates about the Tonga Tsunami volcanic eruption, once again we mistakenly think this is simply a big wave that will retreat soon. We don’t realize that it’s the beginning of a series of waves, each bigger and more devastating than its predecessor, and that when it’s all over, our world will have changed forever. The natural disasters and COVID-19 are not the whole event; these are simply the first “unusually large and fast moving waves.” This is why many people are confused, not knowing if they should really take it seriously or not. But we should all take these lessons from nature very seriously.

The sooner we turn our minds, hearts, and intentions to building a society based on mutual responsibility, inclusion of all parts of society, and building a sense of commonality, the sooner we’ll be freed from the virus and natural disasters.

The new world has been forming under the surface for decades, yet we resisted its arrival. We did everything we could to keep consumerism and ruthless competition going at all costs, but only delayed the inevitable. Now the tectonic pressure has built up to the point where the plates flung into a new position, the pressure has been released at once, and the result — a life-changing tsunami in the form of a pandemic. Everything we went through over the last two years was simply to make us aware of the process we must begin. But as long as we put off beginning this process, the waves that will follow COVID will be higher and more devastating. We can only escape their impact if we learn our lesson and act now.

The shift that has been building is a transformation in how we relate to the world and to society, mainly to other people. It is a revolution in our perception of reality from seeing the world through individualistic eyes to seeing it through the eyes of the collective. And by the way, we are still resisting the transition. Our egos tell us that Omicron is just another wave; we’ll soon go back to celebrating life, depleting the planet and exploiting anyone we can, deliberately or inadvertently. But our egos are misleading us. We can't continue burying our heads in the sand and expect to thrive.

The sooner we turn our minds, hearts, and intentions to building a society based on mutual responsibility, inclusion of all parts of society, and building a sense of commonality, the sooner we’ll be freed from the virus and natural disasters.

Now we are past the warning phase; we are in the midst of the event. We should stop resisting and do what we are told. At the same time we can begin to see where we are. We're calling it the Great Resignation and the Great Attrition, but the truth of the matter is that people are tired of being treated like machines. People are tired of toxic work environments, also referred to as toxic culture. From now on people of all ages need to find their work meaningful and aligned with their purpose. No matter what the industry they need to feel valued and appreciated for their human qualities. Employees and leaders will need to receive constant positive feedback from their environment. This is why upskilling in the future will mainly be focused around human connection. There will be an abundance of occupations required for building a new society, based on caring, solidarity, social cohesion — all those values we have disregarded for so long. Now they are vital for our success. Without them, we will not be able to do anything, not even maintain food supply chains to feed ourselves and our families.

Today, mutual responsibility is not a 'nice to have' - it's a basic necessity. This trend will begin in the business world where people are already grouped together for their work. Now it is imperative to add this new layer of awareness at every level - acquiring this new collective mindset is what the new era is all about. The new human skills we will need for the future are all about our human emotions. But unlike before where we mainly focused on ourselves and our self-development, now we'll need to be far more concerned with our collective development. Because the big goal is to learn about our interdependence, and this way of thinking is all new to us.

So even if our job is not our life’s dream, we need to establish relationships at work that will make it worthwhile to keep working. If we have negative feelings toward our workplace, we'll hate being there. So it's really vital that coworkers not only get to know each other, but that they develop mutual consideration and concern for one another. If all we're thinking about is getting home (or switching off our laptop if working from home), then we'll suffer while we work. But if I'm thinking about how we can all achieve our common goal together, then our work will have a purpose, and that purpose will not be personal but social. In that case, people will be focused on each other and not on their hours and personal duties, and they will feel content and satisfied at work.
