Employers can't fix what they don't understand

To reduce the prevailing trend, senior executives should understand why employees are leaving.

• Executives cited compensation, work-life balance, and poor physical and emotional health as the reasons why their people had quit. 

• However, the top three factors employees mentioned for quitting were that they didn't feel valued by their organisations (54%) or managers (52%) or because they didn't feel a sense of belonging at work (51%). 

The findings highlight that employees prioritise relational factors, while employers focus on transactional ones.
