Tips for giving effective feedback
A record number of employees are quitting or thinking about it, disrupting businesses everywhere.
Companies don't know how to address the problem because they don't really understand why their employees are leaving in the first place. Instead of taking the time to find out the true causes of attrition, companies jump to quick fixes, such as increased pay or financial perks. But employees crave investment in the human aspects of work. They want a sense of purpose and want to feel valued.

Many employers also fail to invest in a more fulfilling employee experience and fail to allow for autonomy and flexibility at work, causing employees to withdraw deliberately from the traditional way of full-time employment.
It can be different if companies make an effort to understand better why employees are leaving and take action to retain them.

Executives are misguided if they think employee attrition is easing or limited to specific industries. Surveys across five countries (Australia, Canada, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States), show that over 40 % of workers are likely to quit in the next three to six months.
Furthermore, people are willing to quit without another job lined up. Even the 60% who said they were not likely to leave in the near future may change their intentions as more employers offer remote-work choices for hard-to-find talent.

Consider the following questions:

Free parking or entertainment-related perks are not of concern to employees right now.
A survey among respondents who had left their jobs showed 45% needed to take the care of their family into consideration. Expanding childcare, nursing services, or other family-focused benefits could help to retain employees.

Employees seek jobs with better, stronger career trajectories. They need recognition and development.
Smart companies reward and recognise people for good work by promoting them into new roles and additional levels within their existing ones.

Remote work is not ideal, but neither is a full on-site return. Employees' needs and expectations have changed, and it will require considerable management attention to encourage connectivity.
For example, one organisation encouraged connectivity among employees by offering coffee gift cards to those who signed up for a one-on-one coffee chat with other employees they didn't know to help expand their networks.
