The Top Three Reasons Employees Voluntarily Leave: Uncover the Keys to Retention and Success

It's no secret that retaining top talent is crucial for organizations to thrive in today's competitive landscape. According to a study conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management, employees leave companies primarily for three key reasons: 

  1. Limited career advancement and professional development opportunities: Inspire your workforce with a clear path for growth and equip them with the skills and knowledge they need to excel.
  2. Leadership gaps and ineffective management: Foster a culture of exceptional leadership and eradicate the detrimental impact of bad bosses. It's a well-known fact that bad bosses are the number one reason employee quit!
  3. Compensation and benefits misalignment: Ensure your employees feel valued and rewarded for their contributions through competitive compensation and enticing benefits packages.

Let's delve deeper into the first cause of employee turnover: the desire for career advancement and training opportunities.

Ignite Employee Engagement, Retention & Productivity: Unleash the Power of Your People

In today's rapidly evolving landscape, retaining and nurturing top talent is more critical than ever. Consider these alarming trends that highlight the urgency of the situation:

  • In 2017, Gallup estimated that employee turnover costs United States businesses a staggering trillion dollars each year. According to research conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), replacing an employee can cost anywhere between 90% and 200% of that employee's salary.
  • A Work Institute study in 2018 revealed that 27 out of every 100 employees in the United States voluntarily left their jobs. They have projected that employee turnover could reach 35% by 2023.
  • Gallup's State of the Global Workplace 2021 Report confirms that approximately 7 in 10 employees are struggling rather than thriving, and a staggering 80% are not engaged or are actively disengaged at work.
  • Extrapolating from research findings, by 2023, an organization with 100 employees and an average salary of $50,000 could face employee turnover costs ranging from $1.57 million to $3.5 million annually.

Managing employee turnover and retention effectively is a game changer. According to SHRM, this may be the most challenging issue that HR is facing today. A recent survey revealed that 59% of HR professionals ranked retaining the best employees as the greatest HR challenge in 2022. Recruiting and retention (45%), developing talent (30%), managing the skill gap (28%), managing workplace conflict (28%), and managing a multi-generational workforce (26%) were identified as some of the top concerns for HR leaders.

The bottom line is clear: high staff turnover is a massive issue for any organization!

  • It's Disruptive: Recruiting and training new employees takes considerable time and resources. Your senior staff members have to invest their valuable time in candidate screening, interviewing, onboarding, and training processes.
  • It's Costly: Each resignation can cost a company up to a third of the worker's annual salary. While 67% of costs are attributed to reduced productivity, the remaining 33% comes from hard costs like recruiting and hiring temporary replacements.
  • It Reflects Poorly on Your Employer Brand: Constant turnover creates a negative perception of your employer brand, leading potential candidates to question why your team members are constantly leaving. 

Make Career Coaching and Leadership Development a cornerstone of your employee retention strategy.

Data shows that employees will stay in a position longer if their company invests in their career  and leadership development. Investing in Career Coaching and Leadership Development demonstrates to your people that the company is invested in their success. This makes employees feel valued and cared for – which in turn produces an engaged workforce. Engaged employees are more likely to go above and beyond in meeting your company's objectives and goals. They are more productive, take fewer sick days on average, and help boost the morale and efficiency of their colleagues.

Career and Leadership Development Coaching is a great tool that will benefit both your employees and your organization. It conveys to your employees that their work is appreciated and that You (the organization) is genuinely interested and invested in their professional growth, which helps cultivate trust and loyalty.

Career Coaching is ideal for the high potential employees and serves as an outstanding retention tool. Clients find one-on-one coaching to be a valuable approach for helping their employees identify their potential and effective exploration where they can best grow and maximize their contribution within the organization. Not only one-on-one coaching provides your employees with opportunities and clear direction on how to acquire or enhance their skills, it also provides important benefits to your organization. 

“One quality of leaders and high achievers in every area seems to be a commitment to ongoing personal and professional development” – Brian Tracey

If you want to reduce REDUCE TURNOVER in your organization, it's time to invest in professional development of your employees, especially your top performers and high-potentials.

Let's delve deeper into the other critical driver of employee turnover: Poor Leadership and lack of people management skills

Unleash the Full Potential of Your Leaders: Elevate Your Organization with Executive Coaching and AdvantEdge Leadership Development Programs

Are you tired of seeing the negative impact poor leadership has on your organization? Have you experienced the consequences firsthand – decreased productivity, disengaged employees, and high turnover? It's time to make a change and empower your leaders to reach their full potential. 

ARE YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAM MEMBERS EQUIPPED TO LEAD YOUR ORGANIZATION INTO THE FUTURE?

DO YOUR MANAGERS HAVE THE SKILLS AND RESOURCES THEY NEED TO SUCCEED?

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, developing strong leaders who can navigate challenges and inspire their teams is crucial for organizational success. Research shows that positive relationships between employees and their direct supervisors significantly impact employee engagement, accounting for 70% of the variance in engagement scores.

Behaviors exhibited by effective supervisors that correlate with high employee engagement include:
  • Clear expectations and access to necessary resources
  • Supportive relationships between employees and supervisors
  • Empowerment and autonomy in decision-making
  • Opportunities for growth and learning

However, many organizations fall short when it comes to preparing new managers for their leadership roles. Shockingly, 40% of managers report receiving less than two hours of managerial training. This lack of preparation can have dire consequences, as effective management can increase productivity by up to 50%, while struggling managers can drive turnover rates up by 60%. Leadership has a direct impact on employee happiness and retention.

Promoting high-performing employees to management positions without proper leadership training is a common pitfall. Excelling at tasks does not automatically translate to excelling at leading and engaging people. The art of leadership must be learned, and investing in leadership development is a powerful way to boost employee engagement and retention.

The bottom line is that employees will leave if their boss does not deliver a workplace in which they feel respected, appreciated, and challenged. People want to do work they enjoy, with greater autonomy and accountability. They want to develop careers, and benefit from professional advancement.

To Drive Higher Staff Retention, Drive Leadership Capability

According to a Gallup study great leadership consists of the following skills:

  • Motivating all employees to perform and expressing a compelling and clear mission and vision
  • Being assertive when it comes to handling resistance and mishaps
  • Cultivating accountability
  • Developing trusting, open relationships
  • Staying away from internal politics and making decisions based on productivity
The same study found that 82% of companies employ managers that do not possess the above talents, but that doesn’t mean these skills can’t be learned. Investing in leadership development can be one of the most effective ways to increase your employee engagement and retention scores.
