Employers need to learn the hard lessons of the Great Resignation. And no, it’s not because “no one wants to work anymore.” The world of work is changing, and organizations that fall behind in the talent marketplace are those that fail to—or refuse to—see the writing on the wall. When it comes to takeaways from this period of workforce upheaval, there are four main reasons employees leave an organization. First on the list is a toxic workplace. According to a study conducted by Flexjobs, 67 percent of employees say they left their previous job because the workplace was toxic. This could be for any number of reasons—micromanaging bosses, pettiness, or vindictiveness—but the fact of the matter is toxicity must be rooted out. Another reason employees leave a job is a lack of recognition. Nothing erodes morale quicker than a lack of appreciation, and an unmotivated staff has a big impact on productivity. Salary is another reason employees will look for the exit. Nowadays, it’s easier than ever to switch jobs or even change careers. If an employee feels like they are being underpaid, they will find an organization that will compensate them adequately. Finally, work-life balance, or more specifically, a lack thereof, will cause employees to leave. If employees feel like they are living to work rather than working to live, it will cause them to seek out a less stressful environment.
