Even though unemployment rates are a bit high, many people walk out of their jobs on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, it’s sometimes the best workers who walk out. They know they can turn right around and find employment somewhere else. For you, this means that you need to be on your toes at all times, watching all of your workers and making sure that they are happy. Especially the ones that you treasure the most.
Your best employees leaving is never a good thing, so make sure to look out for these 7 signs that one of them may be about to walk out the door.
1) You’re Never Around
If you’re never around to encourage your workers to be productive and praise them on the tasks that they are doing well, they go to another company that values their work. This isn’t to imply you have to stand over their shoulders all the time. But being around to actually ‘supervise’ is always a good thing.
2) You Don’t Offer Promotions
Your best workers are going to want to know that they have opportunities to better themselves. Whether it by promotions or pay raises, you need to let them know that they can grow as your company grows.
3) You Expect Too Much
When you overload your workers with tasks, sometimes enough is enough. If workers have to go home and continue working on work-related duties, this means they don’t have time to spend with their families. This is never good, and it can easily lead to employees leaving.
4) You Don’t Know How to Delegate
Tasks should be delegated to the proper workers. If you don’t know the right way to delegate, you need to learn. Fortunately, there are lots of online resources that you can use to learn the ins-and-outs of delegation.
5) You Never Ask for Feedback
When your workers feel as if they don’t have a voice, they usually get disgruntled and want to take their services elsewhere. Fortunately, there’s a simple solution to this problem. You can start
performing 360 degree feedback. Each worker will get a chance to anonymously voice his or her opinion about anything and everything that takes place at work.
6) No One Knows What’s Going On
If everything is disorganized and no one knows what they’re doing. Your best workers will walk out with the hopes that they can find another employer who takes their day to day operations more seriously.
7) You’re Constantly Changing Things
Change is a good thing…in moderation. If you’re constantly changing things up from one week to the next, this can be very aggravating. And it can lead to low levels of productivity, as well as the best of your employees leaving
