How to make your employees quit

Management can really make or break a company. For this very reason managers must evaluate their leadership skills and how they affect their employees. The key to retaining talent is the create a work environment where employees feel comfortable and can best perform their roles. RaezerConnect has put together four reasons why people quit their jobs.

1.     Micromanagement


No one likes someone constantly looking over their shoulder. Sometimes managers feel the need to micromanage to feel powerful or relevant. Others simply feel insecure about the value they bring to an organization. Either way, both can push away talented employees. As a manager it is important to remember that an employee was hired for a reason. Instead of watching their every move, be a resource for employees when they need guidance or help with a task. This provides freedom which leads to innovation and happier employees.

2.     Lack of Accountability

As a manager you can't just talk to talk, you need to walk the walk. Although being a manager entails different responsibilities then those of employees under you, it is important to lead by example. This can come in different forms such as meeting deadlines, being on time for work, or being compassionate towards others. Management not holding themselves accountable to the same standard, rules, and regulations as employees can lead to disfunction and dissatisfaction within the workplace.

3.     Lack of Recognition

Many employees feel underappreciated which lead them to look for new job opportunities elsewhere. When you work in a team it is important to give credit where it's due and not steal all the spotlight. Recognizing employees for their hard work on a project or in general can be a real confident booster. Employees who are recognized then continue producing quality work. Remember: it costs nothing to tell someone they did a good job.

4.     Lack of Leadership

Employees leave their jobs because of poor communication. Companies have a responsibility of setting up processes and leaders to guide employees in different circumstances. For example, company resources, guidance on new projects, or how to resolve workplace conflict. It is a leader’s job to lead, and an employee’s job to follow their direction. Without this direction is difficult for employees to accurately satisfy the needs of a company.

In conclusion, it is important for managers to sit back and reflect on their own leadership skills in order to become the best leaders they can be. Not only will this create a desirable workplace, but it will benefit the company. Satisfied employees have better work ethic and company loyalty. Hiring and retaining talent is high priority for companies, especially during this competitive time. How will you avoid making your employees quit?
