Why Do Employees Leave? And What Can You Do About It?

If you resigned today, what would the main reasons be?

Is it lack of support? Poor management? No clear growth path? Or maybe it’s just burnout?

Think about it for a moment. These reasons aren’t just hypothetical; they’re a reality for many. And here’s the kicker—if you’re feeling these frustrations as a business owner, chances are your employees are, too. And when they start feeling disconnected or undervalued, that’s when the real problems begin.

The Hidden Costs of Losing Employees

Losing a valuable team member doesn’t just mean losing their contribution—it means losing time, momentum, and morale. The ripple effect can be far-reaching. Projects stall (if you are not set up accordingly), your remaining team feels the strain, and replacing that employee can cost up to twice their annual salary. Not to mention, the time and effort spent on finding, hiring, and onboarding a new team member.

Consider the hidden costs:

• Lost Productivity: Even the best transition plans can’t fully offset the productivity dip that happens when a key player exits.
• Decreased Morale: High turnover can damage team morale, causing other employees to wonder if they should be the next person to quit.
• Financial Strain: Recruiting, training, and onboarding aren’t just time-consuming—they’re expensive. According to some estimates, the true cost of losing an employee can be as high as 200% of their salary.

So, How Do You Build a Team That Stays?

There’s no magic formula to keep everyone around forever. But understanding your employees’ pain points is a crucial first step. Start by asking, “If you resigned today, what would the main reasons be?” This single question can reveal more about your team’s satisfaction and engagement than a dozen surveys.

Once you know what’s causing friction, you can address the core issues before they turn into resignation letters.
