One of the highest impacting, yet mostly overlooked aspect of business is staff retention. With the number of job postings significantly fewer than the number of active jobseekers nowadays, it’s always easy to say that “there are other people who’d like to have that job” or “give the job to someone who wants it” every time an employee quits.
Moreover, the “If I’m unhappy, then it’s always better to leave” mindset on the part of the employee isn’t helping the cause of talent retention either.
There have been recent studies that utilize employee analytics and these have delved into why people leave their jobs. The results all point to one thing: people leave jobs because of how they are managed; both personally (by their managers) or by process (by the company’s culture or processes).
