“The great resignation accelerated the future of work into the present,” said Brian Radin, president of Comdata Prepaid. “With employees calling for increased pay, greater flexibility and more benefits, organizations must listen and respond, or be left behind. Employees are moving toward companies that are embracing a different future of work, rather than the status quo.”
