Through a visit to TikTok with Être, young Ava Liu was inspired to learn that following one's passions can lead to finding the right job. Raia's research shows that mentors can be the key to helping adolescent girls and young women realize their full potential and break through barriers in male-dominated fields. To make this happen, Raia is on a mission to provide girls with the chance to observe successful women in action in prestigious companies. According to Raia, “Confidence in boardrooms is not just anecdotal; it is essential. If we want to see more women in boardrooms, we need to start making room for girls in middle school.”
When a colleague departs, it's often the case that one in ten of their peers follow suit and also resign. Reflect Consultancy's HR consultant and mentor, Sean Butcher, commented on the situation, saying: "When a work friend resigns, it's natural to feel a sense of loss. After all, you and this person have gone through the highs and lows of your organization together, making the hard times a little easier."
Your friend's resignation should be given careful thought. It is likely that they have found a job that pays more, offers more potential for career progression, or allows them to live their life as they wish. If this is the case, you should feel pleased that they are making changes for the better and will be happier in the end.
