Do you really know why your people leave?

The key thing to be aware of is that, there are rarely talent shortages in great workplaces. It is the case that organisations short on talent usually deserve to be!"

There are many reasons why people leave, but almost all issues fall into these seven key areas:

1. POOR LEADERSHIP
Management that doesn't keep employees informed or show them appreciation and where there is a lack of respect, trust and integrity.

2. LACK OF PURPOSE
The organisation lacks a meaningful purpose that makes a real difference and isn't aligned with the values of the individual employee.

3. POOR REWARDS
There are no clear links between employee performance and business outcomes. The employee doesn't feel fairly rewarded for their contributions to the organisation's success.

4. LACK OF OPPORTUNITY
There are very few development opportunities and people have limited career advancement prospects.

5. POOR RELATIONSHIPS
Poor, negative and non-collaborative relationships exist between leaders, co-workers and within teams. Individuals don't feel like they have a community of friends at work.

6. POOR JOB FULFILLMENT
The nature of the day-to-day work is consistently unfulfilling and boring to employees and typically lacks challenge and the utilisation of their key strengths.

7. POOR WORK LIFE BALANCE
The business environment doesn't support a life outside work for employees.
