Why Employees Leave
March 22, 2010
Infants and toddlers are extraordinarily competent sensory motor scientists who systematically investigate their world using their scientific tools: mouth, eyes, skin, ears, and their developing muscles.

"...according to a Saratoga Institute survey of nearly 20,000 exit interviews, 89 percent of employers believe that people who voluntarily leave the organization do so for more money. The actual number of employees who leave for money is 12 percent. The disparity highlights the delusion leaders cling to that employees mostly leave for better pay rather than recognize the fact that far more leave for reasons more personal and avoidable. People don't leave jobs, they leave supervisors.
"In that same survey, 'lack of career growth and advancement opportunities; no perceivable career path,' was the second most cited reason for an employee leaving, following poor management.... Imagine that for a moment: The second most significant reason driving voluntary turnover is the employee did not see her future there because no one communicated it to her. Good employees leave when no one notices they are there and when no one communicates to them what they can accomplish. They stay not because they see a paycheck, but because they see a future."

The comment about good employees leave when no one notices they are there really hit home with me. I left a job years ago that I poured my heart and soul into because it was never noticed. I watched other employees who didn't do half of what I did succeed quicker and receive monetary compensation for their efforts. That was the end for me!
