Regardless of tenure, position, title, etc., employees who voluntarily leave, generally do so out of some type of perceived disconnect with leadership. There are many reasons why good employees quit; most are preventable. The few identified reasons for dissatisfaction with jobs are:
Facing Work /Life Imbalance:
Employees are demanded to do job of 2 or more people. It mostly happens during downsizes or restructuring of a company which results in Longer hours & Weekend Work.
Freezing Of Raises & Promotions
Companies are not having a very effective annual performance reviews. Impression it leaves with the employee is that my boss…and company is not interested in my long time future. Why should they stay if they can find 20-25% more.
Management Failing To Give People Voice
Talented people have good thoughts, ideas, insights, and observations. If you don’t listen to them, I can guarantee you someone else will.
Managers Failing To Lead & Lack Of People Skills
Its rightly said Business, Products, Projects & Teams – Don’t Fail BUT Leader’s Fail. Many managers were promoted because they did their first job well, but that doesn’t mean they know how to lead others. People skills can be learned and developed but it really helps if a manager has the natural ability to get along with people and motivate them
Feeling Undervalued
In business, recognizing employees is not simply a nice thing to do but an effective way to communicate your appreciation for their efforts and successes while also reinforcing those actions and behaviors that make a difference in your organization.
Management Failed To Keep Their Commitments
Promises made are worthless, but promises kept are invaluable. If you break trust with those you lead you will pay a very steep price. Leaders not accountable to their people will eventually be held accountable by their people.
The Job Was Not As Expected
All too often the job changes from the original description and what was promised during the interviewing stages. It becomes painfully clear to the new hire that their new company played the bait and switch game which ultimately leads to mistrust.
The analysis of employee’s feedback why they want to quit their Job:
- > 30% believe they’ll be working someplace else inside of 12 months.
- > 40% don’t respect the person they report to.
- > 50% say they have different values than their employer.
- > 60% don’t feel their career goals are aligned with the plans their employers have for them.
- > 70% don’t feel appreciated or valued by their employer.
This Concludes
“Employees don’t quit their companies, and they quit their bosses”.
