A recent article, 9 Things That Make Good Employees Quit by Dr. Travis Bradberry says that turnover of good employees is costly and disruptive. Nevertheless this problem can be avoided if managers will learn to understand the reasons why the best employees leave the organizations.
Let’s discuss them one by one.
Increase workload
If you only increase the workload of talented people without giving them anything like raises, promotions and title-changes (which are all appropriate ways to compensate them), they will feel like they are being abused and cause them to seek greener pastures.
Hire or promote the wrong people
Efficient and hard-working employees want to work with like-minded professionals. Thus, when you heedlessly hire or promote the wrong people, it’s a major cause of dissatisfaction for those stuck working alongside them.
Ungrateful manager
Everyone likes to be appreciated, especially those who work hard and give their best. Managers who don’t say “thank you” or give a pat on the back for a job well done are burdensome to work with.
Uncaring boss
It’s very taxing to work for more than eight hours a day with someone who doesn’t care about anything other than sales and profits.
Unfulfilled promises
Making promises to people puts you in a critical situation where you can make them very happy or disappointed and leave. So when you’re not true to your promises, you seem to become insensible and unreliable.
Limited chance to grow
Talented employees are passionate and innovative, depriving them the ability to grow because you’re comfortable with the status quo, makes them bored and causes them to seek other jobs that will challenge their intellects.
Conclusion
Retaining your talented employees means to treat them as precious jewels. After all, they are the backbone of your organization.
