Indeed, it may be difficult to retain the truly outstanding people. Although the company may provide a good working environment and welfare benefits, sometimes excellent employees may choose to leave for other reasons, such as better career development opportunities and life changes.
Nevertheless, the company can still try its best to retain excellent employees, such as providing better career development opportunities, incentives and benefits. In addition, the company can also establish good communication and trust relationship with employees, so that employees can feel the company's attention and support.
Although it may be difficult to retain excellent employees, the company can improve its attractiveness and cohesion by constantly improving its management methods and employee benefits, so that more excellent employees can choose to stay in the company.
Why is it easier for the more capable people in the workplace to leave
The first reason: strong ability, no worries, no one wants
As the saying goes, "People go high."
In the workplace, everyone certainly hopes that his or her career can prosper, and that he or she can be promoted and paid at an early date. However, not everyone can achieve this, including many people with strong working ability. Although strong ability is a great advantage in work, some companies cannot provide better platforms for these people. Therefore, when they reach a certain stage, they have to consider resigning to find a larger platform to show their skills.
To put it bluntly, there is no dragon hidden in shallow water. The more capable people are, the more difficult it is to retain them. In addition, companies will compete for their ability. Therefore, if they are capable, they will not worry about no one. It is only a matter of time for them to resign and change jobs.
The second reason: more effort, no corresponding return
This reason should be experienced by most people, or they are experiencing it. However, not all people will resist, and a considerable number of people will choose to accept and accept their orders. However, these people are generally relatively poor in ability, and they will not easily make the decision to resign. Even if it is no good job, no matter how unreasonable the salary, they can still hold on to it, because they will worry about their resignation, The next job may not be as good as the current one, so they tend to stay in the company.
On the contrary, people with strong abilities are generally more confident. They will feel that since I have paid, but you can't give corresponding returns, I will find other positions that are more suitable for me to play my own value.
Therefore, it is easy for people with strong abilities to feel unbalanced when they pay more in their work but do not get the corresponding return, and move to a place with better pay.
The departure of good employees is not sudden, but caused by these reasons:
Make a bunch of stupid rules
Of course, the company needs rules and regulations, but it must not formulate short-sighted and careless rules and regulations in an attempt to establish order.
Whether it's an overly strict attendance system, or a misappropriation of employees' accumulated flight miles, or even just a few redundant regulations, it may drive people crazy. Good employees tend to change jobs if they feel that Big Brother is always looking at them.
Treat employees without discrimination
Although the method of colleagues is applicable to school education, it should not be used in the workplace. For excellent employees, this means that no matter how well they perform (and excellent employees are usually "old scalpers" who work hard), they are treated as fools who can only clock in and out.
Tolerate employees' poor performance
It is said that the level of a jazz band depends on its worst musicians. No matter how excellent other musicians are, what the audience hears is the performance of the worst musicians.
So does the company. If the company does not punish the employees with poor performance at all, they will drag down the performance of other employees, especially the best employees. This kind of situation will occur if the managers are insufficient in emotional intelligence and cannot effectively deal with the problem of poor performance.
Not sure about the staff's achievements
Managers tend to underestimate the power of praise, especially its role in excellent employees who desperately need to be motivated. Everyone loves honor, especially those who are diligent and devoted to their work. Rewarding individual contributions shows that managers attach importance to them.
Managers need to communicate with employees to find out their preferred reward methods (some people want to raise their salaries, and some people want to be publicly praised) to reward their good work performance. If the reward system is properly implemented, rewards are common for excellent employees.
Don't care about employees
More than half of employees leave because of poor relationship with their superiors. Smart companies will ensure that their managers know how to be both professional and humane (you can take an EQ test first). Such managers will be proud of their employees' success, understand their difficulties, and make them accept various challenges, even if the process is painful.
If the boss never really cares about employees, the turnover of his staff will be relatively high. No one is willing to devote more than 8 hours a day to a boss who only gives orders and cares about performance.
Do not describe the company's development blueprint for employees
It seems very efficient to constantly assign tasks to employees. However, for excellent employees, not knowing the company's blueprint may be the main reason for their resignation. Excellent employees are willing to take on more work because they really care about their own work, so these work must be valuable.
If they do not know its value, they will feel alienated and disoriented. They don't feel self-worth in this company, they will look for value elsewhere.
Employees cannot pursue their own hobbies
Google requires employees to spend at least 20% of their time doing "what they think is most beneficial to Google". These hobby projects have spawned excellent Google products, such as Google Mail and Advertising Alliance, but their biggest role is to cultivate highly focused Google employees. Employees with outstanding talents tend to be enthusiastic. Let these employees have the opportunity to pursue their hobbies, which can improve their work efficiency and job satisfaction
Work is no fun
If employees are bored, this is the problem of managers. If employees are unhappy, they cannot devote themselves to their work. Fun is the main force to resist "power weakening". All good companies will know that it is important for employees to relax properly.
For example, Google does everything it can to make work fun, such as free meals, bowling alley and fitness classes. Google's intention is simple: if the work is interesting, employees will not only perform better, but also be willing to work longer, or even take it as a long-term career.
