From my experience, I just noticed why
good and best employees quit their job early. There are several reasons why
employees gradually lose their enthusiasm and later begin to disengage in their
job.
I list down most of the common reasons.
And here as follows:
1.
Relationship
with Managers/ Immediate Supervisors – one of the top reasons why good
employees decided to resign because of the relationship between immediate supervisors’
and managers. Authors
Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman said in their book, First
Break All the Rules: What The Worlds’ Greatest Managers Do Differently, that employees will not
leave their job if their immediate supervisors/ managers treat them with equal
and respect. Good managers have a big impact to the performance of employees. Thus,
bad managers’ gave conflict and negative visions to employees in leading the track.
No matter how much the salary if the employees received unprofessional
treatment and not even acknowledge nor appreciate their job. The interest will
diminish and will decide to leave. The important thing for the managers has the
ability to listen and knows how to respect the individual difference of the
employee. Narrow –minded managers have no space to handle employees and a
company as well. Shouting and screaming creates a nightmare environment in the
workplace and lay down their interest to work.
2.
Stress and Work-imbalance- a one employee doing jobs which is equivalent to two
or more people. These are usually happens if the company retrench which result
in longer working hours and even during day-off are forcing them to work. And their
personal life almost disregarded. Working in long hours and additional work-load
must be compensated equally according to the heavy loads and number of working
hours and overtime as well. But the problem, there’s always unjust treatment
and unequal fair compensation.
3.
Feeling Devalued and Unrecognized- employees are also human and they will not force you to
recognize their effort but learn to appreciate and value their work and efforts
to motivate them rather than negative criticism consistently. Mostly, a manager
sees more of your negative side rather than the improvement you did. Screamers
and mean bosses tend to distract the attention and enthusiasm of the employees.
And the employees begin to scratch the surface of his interest. That’s why all competent employees decided to
leave than to stay and continue working for jerk.
4.
Lack of Growth & Opportunities- employees’ work in a company not only to earn money but to
develop more of their skills. They are looking for advancement and progress.
Not a stock-up knowledge and limited into.
5.
Lack of Equal Compensation- usually employees work hard just to earn more for the family even
if it’s more time and extra work will be added to them. Thus, employees expecting
equal compensation. All efforts and hard work must be paid accordingly with
fair and just. However some manager’s overshadows all the efforts and hard work
of the employees. But managers’ have recognized
and gave incentive to those employees whose interest bound between them. Favoritism
and biased treatment have the tendency to quit in the company.
6.
Communication and Openness- primarily the common factor why employee quit jobs due to lack
of openness and better communication. Managers must have the ability to
collaborate, communicate and to listen to the opinions and explanations of the
employees. Managers’ should understand the significance of the reasoning and
work on retention strategies.
7.
Conflict with Peers – behavioral and personality conflicts are one of the common
factors among peer groups. Conflicts sometimes results into deadly conversation
and may results in leaving a job. Recognizing individual differences could
help.
Remember Marcus Buckingham and Curt
Coffman writes in their book,” People leave the managers not the company .”
Therefore, if you want your employee
to retain, STOP the workplace into mess
like drama. Employees should be treated normally and develop the
environment more convenient for them. Share and contribute knowledge and
expertise for the company. Give employees the power to solve rather than
complainers. Good atmosphere may result to a good progress of the company.
Equal compensation may strengthen the hard work and will result to talented
employees on board. And in the end, if the employees will decide to leave they
will never forget you on how you create good opportunities for them and how you
help them to be a competitive individual.
However, bad managers will put you into track to avoid you in future -
Bad Image and a jerk.
