Why does an employee leave an organization. Is it because of salary? No. Less or no hike? No. Promotion or none in a year? No. Not enough leave benefits? No. Not good benefits with the job? No. If you really will understand why an employee will leave an organization, just look at the immediate supervisor of that employee. An employee leaves his/her manager - never an organization. If the manager is a leader and a charismatic one on top of it, the employee will always be loyal by default. And give in the best at work.
I can share my examples. When I started working, I had a great immediate supervisor - I won't publish any names here - let's call him S. He had a great rapport with all his team members and always backed his team, sorted their issues, helped the team members as and when required. A great asset for the team. And I did not want to leave my job, despite the low pay package, because I had a great supervisor! Then my project completed. I got a new project to work on and I got a new supervisor and a new team member. Let's name the supervisor S again. And at the fag-end of the project I cried - thanks to the team member & the supervisor. That's the point I nearly left my job. Thankfully, the project was about to end and got delivered successfully. And I got a much better supervisor after many more projects. Let's name her G. Even though the team was a pain in the wrong place. G left the organization after some time and so did I. We've remained friends till date. Whenever I would resume work, I'll follow G for sure & be loyal to her come what may. Great leader and a supervisor.
So, you can say an employee leaves his/her manager - never an organization. Organizations - buckle up! Ensure good leaders as supervisors. Not managers as supervisors.
