Even the best leader struggles with retaining top talent.\u00a0 Quitting could be the result of life events (ex. career change, family needs), but most reasons are related to the organization itself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2015 we shared the following 4 reasons why top performers quit:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 \u00a0Reward System<\/strong>
\n 2.\u00a0 \u00a0Management<\/strong>
\n 3.\u00a0 \u00a0Hiring\/Promotions<\/strong>
\n 4.\u00a0 \u00a0Too Much Work<\/strong><\/p>\n

This year (2018), Human Resource expert Susan M. Heathfield has published what she views as the top ten reasons why employees quit:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Relationship with the boss<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bored and unchallenged with the work<\/strong><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Relationships with co-workers<\/strong><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Opportunities to use their skills and abilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Contribution of their work to the organization\u2019s business goals<\/strong><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Autonomy and independence on the job<\/strong><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Meaningfulness of the employee’s job<\/strong><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Knowledge about your organization\u2019s financial stability<\/strong><\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Overall corporate culture<\/strong><\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Management\u2019s recognition of employee job performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other studies report that a “bad boss” is the number #1 reason for quitting, but having a relationship with the boss is different. The employee wants feedback, direction, and recognition, with a desire for open lines of communication. Having trust in the relationship is also a plus!<\/p>\n

Employees want a stable work environment and they want to feel their contributions are valued and meaningful for the success of their organization. They also want their contributions to be acknowledged.<\/p>\n

They want a work environment where relationships exist between team members, and where team members collaborate and build on one another\u2019s ideas.<\/p>\n

What type of relationships do you have with your direct reports and peers? Do you know what makes them “tick\u2019?\u00a0 As a leader what more can you do to stay connected and retain top talent?<\/p>\n
