Anthony Klotz

Anthony Klotz is a Professor of Organisational Behaviour at UCL’s School of Management and a globally recognised authority on the evolving nature of work. He gained international prominence after coining the term the Great Resignation during an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, accurately forecasting the historic surge in voluntary turnover that followed the pandemic. His subsequent analysis successfully identified the eventual plateauing of this trend, cementing his reputation as a vital voice for businesses navigating the transition from a period of mass resignations to a more stable employment landscape. His academic research, including his book Jolted: Why We Quit, When to Stay, and Why It Matters, examines the psychological triggers behind career transitions and the impact of remote work on employee wellbeing. Professor Klotz frequently contributes to prestigious publications such as the Harvard Business Review and The Wall Street Journal, exploring how nature-based workplace interventions and job redesign can foster more sustainable and resilient organisations. Having consulted for Fortune 100 companies, he applies deep data-driven analysis to the forces reshaping modern labour markets, from turnover contagion to the integration of artificial intelligence. Professor Klotz is a highly sought-after speaker for leadership teams and global organisations seeking to understand the shifting dynamics of employee empowerment. He offers a sophisticated perspective on how to build high-performance cultures that meet the changing expectations of the contemporary workforce through evidence-based strategy and management expertise.

Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across Business & Consulting and Education, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy.
