Losing employees to turnover can be a pretty expensive habit. At Randstad US, researchers conducted a survey to nail down the top reasons people quit. Some of their findings caught my attention:
- More than half (59 percent) of the respondents felt their companies view profits or revenue as more important than how people are treated.
- Sixty percent of respondents had left jobs, or considered leaving, when they didn’t like the direct supervisors.
- Sixty-nine percent said they would be more satisfied if their employers better utilized their skills and abilities.
- More than half (57 percent) said they needed to leave their current companies to take their careers to the next level.
