It’s disheartening to learn that an employee is choosing to leave your organization. Turnover leaves your HR team and organizational leaders scrambling to find a replacement, and if the employee leaves the organization on a sour note, the experience can be especially awkward and even leave some professional relationships in jeopardy.
But if your organization has come to see resignation letters and cleaned-out desks as the norm, it might be time to take a step back and look at what’s really happening.
According to Gallup’s report on employee turnover, 52% of employees who leave their jobs voluntarily say their organization could have done something to keep them from quitting.
