For female employees, the Great Resignation may only be getting started. More than half of the 5,000 women surveyed by the consulting firm Deloitte LLP said they intend to quit their jobs within the next two years.

Burnout was the top driver for those currently looking for new employment, as most said they felt more stressed today than they did a year ago in the survey released Tuesday. Rates were worse for women who belonged to ethnic minority groups, as well as those in middle-management and part-time roles and women aged 18-25. Overall, one in three women said they had taken time off from work due to their mental health, and almost half rated their mental health as "poor/very poor.”
