Perhaps the real question is: Why are they looking for new jobs in the first place? According to more than 80% of employees, it's not that there's greener grass on the other side of the fence; it's the preponderance of negative factors in their current workplaces -- from poor management practices to toxic workplace cultures -- that essentially push them toward the door.
The 7 Hidden Reasons Employees Leave can help you identify the "push" factors in your organization, and mitigate or eliminate all of them. Incorporating data from surveys performed by the prestigious Saratoga Institute of more than 19,000 employees, this critical book examines in depth:
* How the employee and the employer travel a two-way street of expectation and reality; What are the warning signs of unmet expectations, and how can you best act on them?
* How incomplete talent strategies lead to employee-job mismatches; why a passion for matching must become a core competency in your organization.
* The ultimate cost of insufficient or ineffectual feedback; a five-step coaching process that builds strong and durable working relationships.
* How growth and advancement opportunities are not keeping pace with new career expectations; how to create opportunities and help your employees create their own.
* Best pay practices, rewards programs, and other initiatives for valuing and recognizing employees; understanding the emotional impact of compensation and recognition programs.
* The real toll that stress and overwork take on your employees--and on your bottom line; a look at how the best places to work in America got that way, even without high-profile or "newfangled" perks or benefits.
* How leadership and employees can (and must) build an environment of mutual trust and confidence; the three universal questions every employee needs answered, and how a disengaged workforce is the direct result of detached leadership
The key to becoming an Employer of Choice -- a workplace where top talent are knocking down the doors to get in -- is to develop the attitudes and implement the programs that address each of the above areas. The 7 Hidden Reasons Employees Leave presents 54 Best Practices that will serve as the building blocks for a proactive approach to employee satisfaction, growth, and retention."

The 7 reasons the author suggests are:
1. Job or workplace not as expected
2. Mismatch between job and person
3. Little coaching and feedback
4. Few growth opportunities
5. Feeling unrecognized
6. Stress from work-life imbalance
7. Loss of trust in senior leaders
The book is full of quotes from employees unsatisfied with their jobs and bullet lists of items employees or employers can do, and some references to books and research.
Contains a few good ideas and practices used in different companies and it's very well structured.
And it's the structure and the repetition (again bullet points!) that has made it a difficult read to me. -
Read as research for training we developed to help call centers with Attrition/Retention.
Excellent book to improve retention of great employees. Book has tips not just how to act to prevent people from leaving but what you should consider when you are recruiting and hiring that impacts job satisfaction. I like the construction - what research of exit interviews revealed, 54 tips, what organizations, managers and employees should do. -
A great review of why employees leave. Having witnessed the Great Resignation of 2020-2021 (and beyond?), this book is quite accurate with the internal reasons employees are telling our managers why they are leaving.
The biggest one is indeed Trust. When all the chips were down in 2020, corporations and businesses showed their true colors and a lot of employees were shocked at the poor behavior. I can only hope the ones who remain can capture lessons learned in order to avoid the COSTLY hit again.
To be sure, many businesses saw 2020 as an existential threat and took drastic actions. But perhaps they only delayed the inevitable. Sure they survived 2020, but will they survive 2021 and beyond? If no one is around to do the actual work, will the business survive?
I know of a few corporations which are frantically trying to re-hire or offshore the work; just to keep operations humming along. Some are only 1 or 2 resignations away from losing multi-million dollar investments because no one is around to make those technical decisions. Meanwhile, other corporations are gobbling up talent and they comprehend the urgency to retain staff and keep employees happy.
If you are a HR manager or if you manage people, read this book before it's too late to retain your own talented people! -
Fascinating read!

This book definitely changed my perspective on dealing with people who report to me, and how I will deal with my bosses. I have re-read most of this one twice now, simply because I go back to it to see what she has to say about some situation I see at work, and end up running through two or three chapters on either side just "for fun". Excellent bit of business, recommend for anyone who has people reporting to them.
