Here are some of the top reasons organizations lose their talent:
- Negative company culture
- A poor match between the job and the skills of the employee
- Below-average benefits or compensation
- Poor work relationships
- Management
- Work-life balance
- A lack of business goals or direction
- Salary and benefits
- Too few career development opportunities
- Feeling unappreciated
How to Retain Your Top Talent:
- Advancement Potential: Talented employees do not want to be stuck in a dead-end job. Once they feel they have no room to grow at your organization, they will look somewhere else!
- Flexible Working Arrangement: Being tied to a desk from 9-to-5, 5 days per week is a thing of the past. Employees would prefer to work for a company that offers flexibility. Allowing the employees the freedom to adjust their hours or work remotely has become a MUST-HAVE for many top candidates.
- Attractive Benefits Package: Employees look for a comprehensive benefits package, including healthcare, retirement savings, and unlimited PTO, and more.
- Positive Work Environment: No one would like to spend each day in a hostile, negative environment where the employees are constantly bombarded with hostility, unrealistic assignment, unreasonable managers. So expect people to take off in search of pleasant working conditions!
- Recognition: Employees love to feel appreciated. If you are not taking initiatives to appreciate your employees as a part of your culture and company's policy, they may feel undervalued and leave the company under short notice. From your day one (onboarding) you need to put this on the board and continue evaluating your program on yearly basis.

Unfortunately, bad hires are usually not obvious until the employee has been on the job for some time. Hiring is a complex process and that complexity is mostly front-loaded into the early stages of a search. Identifying and hiring dependable employees can be costly and exhausting.
