<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The topic is "The Great Resignation." An excerpt from the e-mail invitation with references is below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Specifically, I'm listening to and participating in a bimonthly discussion of the Structural Engineering Equity and Engagement (SE3) meeting of the Structural Engineers Association
of Northern California (SEAONC). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">(I've been a Member of SEAONC for a lonnng time, first in San Francisco during my two stints in the area, initially 3 years and, then after my PhD, 11 years.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I planted a few "seeds" when the discussion turned to working remotely. If you know me, most (but not all) of my seeds were on knowledge used in design decision-making when
engineers (of all ranks) are geographically scattered during business hours. I'm wondering about FAILURES that are resulting from this. I guess that "working remotely" is an impeder of knowledge flow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Another seed was on mentorship….. university education and professors no longer working in practice… and so on.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">One engineer brought up the effects of inflation. Please keep in mind that Structural Engineers have one of the lowest salaries of all engineers. Firms are having difficulties
offering employees cost of living increases under fixed budgets and constraints on future budgets.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Another engineer just brought up a decreasing number of engineers wanting to move upward to senior management. Another engineer wonders who will manage the firms in years to
come. And. Another engineer is talking about generational differences with the generation coming through now being non-competitive and without drive to "climb up the ladder."<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
Date: Thursday, October 13th<br>
Time: 6:30pm-8:00pm<br>
<br>
You may have heard the phrases “The Great Resignation” and “Quiet Quitting”. What do these phrases mean? On October 13, the SE3 committee welcomes the SEAONC community to a discussion regarding the challenges our industry and the overall workforce are facing
in recruiting and retaining talent. <br>
<br>
The following articles and podcasts provide examples on how The Great Resignation and Quiet Quitting are illuminating employee needs and desires while also suggesting ways to meet these shifting demands and increase employee engagement. Perhaps you are seeing
these workplace trends taking place in your own organization?<br>
<br>
This is a safe space to brainstorm ideas with peers regarding how to better recruit and retain structural engineers in the profession. Feel free to read or listen to any or all of the suggested articles below prior to the book club meeting, or find some of
your own to bring to the group!</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
