When people leave

When good staff leave may be due to following attributes:

Environment factors
If bosses do not generate a good corporate culture, the staff will lose their motivation. A career will become `just a job'. What drives people away? A department in which the staff is not nurtured, a company where boses are indifferent to the needs of the staff or a place no one practises basic courtesies.

Lack of succession planning
If an organisation does not have one in place, the message you give your staff is `we do not have a career path for you'.

Standards and procedures in the office
If there is favouritism and the boss' decisions smack of discrimination, if people abuse the system and no one cares, then good people leave.

Nature of job
Clever executives want challenges that drive them towards excellence. One little flaw in their character is that they get bored easily. That is why bosses need to consider how they can get the best from their staff. When you expect your staff to do the same job year in and year out, with no `escape clause', they will leave no matter what you pay. Remember the market will bear the cost of excellence.

Something for sharing
