Why good employees leave quotes

“People leave managers, not companies.” Marcus Buckingham, the author of the best-selling business books “Love+Work” and “First, Break All the Rules.” Why employees leave their jobs? There are many reasons why employees quit. Still, in most cases, it happens because of poor management. So, the primary goal of a good manager is to catch the early signs that an employee is about to leave the organization soon. Effective management is key to employee retention. WorkTime non-invasive employee monitoring software is a perfect solution to spot the signs your workers are searching for new job opportunities and respond quickly.

What is attrition rate? Reduce it with WorkTime

The rate of attrition is generally related to a natural process of losing employees that is unavoidable. It can be caused by personal reasons, retiring, or moving to another location. Still, some forms of staff attrition can be harmful for the organization. Dysfunctional attrition happens when talented and highly skilled employees leave because they are unhappy or do not feel valued enough. This is the most problematic job attrition type, as it significantly reduces the overall productivity within the organization. If the rate of attrition (the negative type) is high, it can harm the company’s image, indicating signs of employee dissatisfaction. The problem also lies in extra spending on recruiting and training new staff members to replace high-performing workers who decided to leave the organization. Decrease the attrition rate with our tracking system. WorkTime tracks key indicators that reveal the signs an employee is about to quit. With this insight, you can initiate retention strategies, fostering a culture that encourages professional growth and loyalty, ultimately reducing turnover.
